Grass-moth

Grass-moth (Crambus), a genus of small moths, allied to the Clothes-moths. The species, which are numerous, inhabit pastures, where they may be often seen to rise in great numbers when disturbed, and soon to settle again on the blades of grass. Their form, when their wings are closed, is long and narrow, pointed at the head, abruptly cut off at the opposite end. They are often brown and white, sometimes silvery and golden.
