The Limacodidae or Eucleidae are a family of moths in the superfamily Zygaenoidea or the Cossoidea;[2] the placement is in dispute. They are often called slug moths because their caterpillars bear a distinct resemblance to slugs.[3] They are also called cup moths because of the shape of their cocoons.[3]
The larvae are often liberally covered in protective stinging hairs, and are mostly tropical, but occur worldwide, with about 1800 described species and probably many more as yet undescribed species.
