The Family Praydidae
The family Praydidae (False ermine moths) is a family of moths in the superfamily Yponomeutoidea. Though once considered a subfamily (Praydinae), a 2013 molecular analysis elevated it to family rank.
The olive moth, Prays oleae (Bernard, 1788) is categorized among the most devastating insect pests of olives, whose anthophagous and carpophagous generations can cause serious yield loss.
