WHAT DOES GRASS MOTH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

grass moth

Crambidae

The Crambidae are the grass moth family of Lepidoptera. They are quite variable in appearance, the nominal subfamily Crambinae taking up closely folded postures on grass stems where they are inconspicuous, while other subfamilies include brightly coloured and patterned insects which rest in wing-spread attitudes. In many classifications, the Crambidae have been treated as a subfamily of the Pyralidae or snout-moths. The principal difference is a structure in the ears called the praecinctorium, which joins two tympanic membranes in the Crambidae, and is absent from the Pyralidae. The latest review by Munroe and Solis, in Kristensen retains the Crambidae as a full family.

Definition of grass moth in the English dictionary
