Om micro-moths
Mikrosommerfuglene spenner over et vidt spekter av både dag- og nattaktive “nattsommerfugler”. Her finner man de aller minste representantene innen sommerfuglordenen, som bare er millimeterlange. De største artene (store halvmøll) innen denne gruppen kan fort forveksles med makrosommerfugler.
Det er blant mikrosommerfuglene de største utfordringene ligger når det gjelder artsbestemming. Hos mange grupper er det helt nødvendig med genitaliepreparering for å være sikker på hvilken art det dreier seg om.
