The Family Pyralidae refers to a group of moths that are found across the globe. These moths are often referred to as snout moths, grass moths, or pyralid moths due to their physical characteristics and habitats. The snout moths get their name from their long snout-like mouthparts. Grass moths, on the other hand, are named due to their tendency to feed on grasses and other green plants. Pyralid moths are called so because of the family name. These synonyms are used interchangeably when referring to these moths, which are important pests in agriculture and forestry. It takes a keen entomological eye to differentiate one from another.
