Pyralididae is a family of insects that includes many species of moths commonly found throughout the world. There are, however, a number of synonyms that can be used to refer to this family, such as snout moths, pyralid moths, grass moths, and corn moths. These names reflect the varied habitats and food sources of different species within the family, with some feeding on grasses, while others are attracted to stored grains or other crops. Despite their different names, all members of Pyralididae share certain characteristics, such as a distinctive shape and pattern of wings, which set them apart from other moths and butterflies.
