The Zygaenidae moths are a family of Lepidoptera. The majority of zygaenids are tropical, but they are nevertheless quite well represented in temperate regions. Some of the 1000 or so species are commonly known as burnet or forester moths, often qualified by the number of spots, although other families also have 'foresters'.

斑蛾科（學名： Zygaenidae ）是斑蛾總科昆蟲之下的一科，並分為4個亞科。全世界目前至少有超過200個屬及1,000多個物種已被命名。

斑蛾科（Zygaenidae；leaf skeletonizer moths）是节肢动物门（Arthropoda）、六足亚门（Mandibulata）、昆虫纲（Insecta）、有翅亚纲（Pterygota）、鳞翅目（Lepidoptera）的1科。通称斑蛾。在中国，已知的有140种以上。

The adults of the family Zygaenidae closely resemble the Ctenuchidae from the superfamily Noctuoidea, but are readily distinguished by the presence of Cu 2 in the hind wings. Many are very brilliantly colored and there is considerable diversity of structure.

2024年4月25日 · Zygaenidae, also known as burnet, forester, smoky, or leaf skeletonizer moths, are a family of mainly diurnal moths well known for their aposematic colouration and the ability to release hydrogen cyanide as a defence mechanism. So far, few attempts have been made to understand the evolutionary history of the global zygaenid fauna.

Zygaenidae comprise a worldwide group of dissimilar moths exhibiting a large number of remarkable specializations. Nearly all are diurnal and many are slow-flying and brightly colored (aposematic) ( Fig. 71 ) and are avoided by birds and other predators because both adults and larvae biosynthesize cyanoglucosides.

The Zygaenidae are members of the Superfamily Zygaenoidea. About 1,000 species are described worldwide, and the family is relatively well studied owing to the fascinating, colorful forms, diurnal habits, and mimicry associated with the chemical ecology. All New World species are in the subfamily Procridinae.
