Fur moths are a group of insects belonging to the family Psychidae. They are known for their unique appearance, with many species covered in a protective case made from silk and plant materials. These cases help them blend into their surroundings, providing camouflage from predators. The larvae of fur moths are often found in various habitats, including forests and grasslands. They feed on a range of organic materials, such as leaves and decaying plant matter. Adult fur moths are typically nocturnal and are attracted to light, making them easier to spot at night.
