The Momphidae, or mompha moths, is a family of moths with some 115 described species.[2] It was described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1857. These moths tend to be rather small with a wingspan of up to 21 mm. The wings are held folded over the body at rest. The larvae are concealed feeders, either as leaf miners or within seeds or stems.

gollark: My stuff runs on thermal dynamics fluxducts and RFTools powercells.

gollark: Just use quantum entangloporters everywhere.

gollark: You can use redstone, it has dedicated support.

gollark: Basically, the tunnels run on the forge capability system, which not every mod supports.

gollark: There's a "capability adapter" mod letting you use AE2 input/output.
