Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Ian Kimber Family   Oecophoridae Sub Family   Oecophorinae Description   a sub-family of the Oecophoridae Background to Family   Most species have larvae that feed on dead vegetable matter, or the fungi associated with its decay. Some genera also feed on dry animal matter, and they may be pests in stored products. A few others feed on mosses, lichens, or vascular plants.
