Herminiinae
Subfamily of moths / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Herminiinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae.[1] The members of the subfamily are called litter moths because the caterpillars of most members feed on dead leaves of plants, though others feed on living leaves, and/or the mushrooms of fungi as in the case of genus Idia.
