Description of Alucitidae
The Alucitidae (Many-plume Moths) are a very small family of moths of the superfamily Alucitoidea. Only three species are found in North America. Adults of this family have both sets of wings divided into six plumes. When at rest they hold their wings outstretched. The tiny larvae of these moths bore into the flowers, buds, fruits, and stems of Honeysuckle (<em>Lonicera</em> sp.) and Snowberry (<em>Symphoricarpos</em> sp.).
