A family of large owlet moths and nocturnal insects in the order Lepidoptera.
Scientific Latin family name suffix -idae combined with Aluco; used in biological classification to group related moth species together.
Every insect family name ending in '-idae' follows the same naming convention—it's one of science's most organized systems, but entomologists still debate whether families are 'real' categories or human inventions.
