This fun family has not been covered by Mariposas del Ecuador. It contains some very brightly cloloured species of rather diverse forms, but most of them look very woolly.

The gallery below shows most of the species that have been recorded at the Lodge. Click on each photo to see an enlarged picture, the species name, and more information.
