Ennominae are a sub-family of Geometridae. They include tribes Nacophorini (Satin Moths) and Boarmiini (Bark Moths) as well as a number of other smaller tribes.
The common name (Emeralds) for this Sub-family of moths derives from the fact that many of them are Blue-green in colour.
Larentiinae moths are a sub-family of Geometridae. They are commonly known as Carpet Moths. 28 separate species of Larentiinae have been recorded in Tarra-Bulga National Park.
To date we have 5 different species of moths in the family Hepialidae recorded in Tarra-Bulga National Park.
To date we have 17 different species of moths in the family Arctiidae recorded in Tarra-Bulga National Park.
“Arctiidae is a large family of moths with around 11,000 species found all over the world. This family includes the groups commonly known as tiger moths (or tigers). Tiger moths usually have bright colours, footmen (which are usually much drabber), lichen moths and wasp moths. Many species have ‘hairy’ caterpillars which are popularly known as woolly bears or woolly worms. The scientific name refers to this (Gk. αρκτος = a bear). ”
