 These small moths often bear metallic scales and are mostly day-flying (some also come to lights), with a jerky, pivoting behaviour, and may fluff up their wings at an extreme angle.Some tropical exemplars such as the genus "Saptha" are quite spectacular, with bright green metallic bands .The members of the genus "Brenthia", usually placed in their own subfamily Brenthiinae, have eyespots on the wings and have been shown to mimic jumping spiders (Rota and Wagner, 2006).
