==Relationship with humans==
Most of these small moths are inconspicuous. Many are economically important pests, including [[waxworm]]s, which are the [[caterpillar]] [[larva]]e of the greater (''[[Galleria mellonella]]'') and lesser (''[[Achroia grisella]]'') wax moths ([[subfamily]] [[Galleriinae]]). They are natively [[pest (organism)|pest]]s of [[beehive]]s, but are bred indoors in enormous numbers as [[live food]] for small [[reptile]] and [[bird]] [[pet]]s and similar animals. They are also used as [[fishing bait]] for [[trout]] fishing.
