Description of Glyphipterigidae
The Glyphipterigidae (Sedge Moths) are a small group of moths represented by 36 species in North America. Adults are diurnal and can be found visiting flowers during the day. These are small moths that frequently have metallic crescent markings along the costa and inner margin of the forewings. Larvae bore into the stems of sedges, rushes, and grasses, and this behavior gives the group its name.
