Majority of the arctiid moths can be studied under two subfamilies i.e., Arctiinae and Lithositnae and the members of this group are of much economic importance.They can be identified from the meta thoracic tymbal organ, a pre-spiracular counter tympanal hood and a pair of pheromonal glands between the ovipositor lobes. Arctiid moths are an integral and complex part of our ecosystem and play a vital role in its functioning.
