Family Arctiid^ (Arc-ti'i-dae). The Tiger-moths, or Arctiids {Arc'ti4ds), The Arctiidae includes stout-bodied moths, with moder- ately broad wings, which in the majority of cases are con- spicuously striped or spotted, suggesting the popular name Tiger-moths ; some of the species, however, are unspotted. A large proportion of the species are exceed- ingly beautiful ; this renders the family a favorite one with collec- tors. As a rule, when at rest, the wings are folded roof-like upon the body. The moths fly at night, and are at- tracted to lights. These moths differ from the following fam- ily in having ocelli; these are often prominent, at other times they are difficult to see on account of the long hairs with which the head is.
