Super family... Pyraloidea
@ Dan,That is of great help! Thank you .
Agree with other's ID...just click +
Emma, those numbers indicate how many people agree with the ID suggestion. Instead of suggesting the same ID but still want to show you agree, then hit the +1. If the spotter is still unsure than once it hits 3+ on the suggestions, it's usually considered correct. Hope that helps.
@ Ashish,I am doing ID. In each suggestion box there are numbers like +0, +1 etc etc. What is that?

Have I ID'd this incorrectly, or are you saying its common name is Snout Moth?
Alike in Pyralidae family of moths.
