Cossidae
This family of moths contains around 700 species. The larvae develop inside wood and some are important pests, e.g. of orchard trees. The adults live nocturnally and are large to very large, sometimes with a wingspan exceeding 10 cm. The colour is mainly gray with dark markings. The adults do not feed and their mouthparts are degenerated.
