cave-dwelling moth

[Everett D. Cashatt]

Colleagues:

In Butterflies and Moths by POCKETS, POCKETS FULL OF KNOWLEDGE, by Barbara
Taylor, 1996, p. 114, reference is made of small moths that spend their
entire lives in caves feeding on the droppings of bats and other animals.

Could anyone give me information (genus, species, distribution) on such a
species?

Please respond directly to me.

Thanks very much!

Tim
