A family of small moths whose larvae feed on plant leaves and are known for creating protective cases or shelters in which they develop.
Scientific taxonomy from 'Coleophora' (primary genus) plus '-idae' (the standard Latin suffix for animal families), following Linnaean classification conventions.
The case-bearing moths in this family are so precise in their architecture that different species make distinctly different cases—some roll leaves, others fold them, each perfectly adapted to their host plant!
