}}Thaumetopoeidae is a small family of moths in the order Lepidoptera.[1] The genera in this family have been historically treated as a subfamily within Notodontidae (Thaumetopoeinae), and this subfamily has been raised to the family status.[2]

The etymology of the family name derives from the two ancient greek words {{wikt-lang|grc|θαυματόεις}} ({{grc-transl|θαυματόεις}}), marvelous, and {{wikt-lang|grc|ποιέω}} ({{grc-transl|ποιέω}}), to do, and literally means showing beautiful things.[3][4]

This explains why the name is sometimes spelled Thaumatopoeidae, incorrectly from the taxonomic standpoint, but in accordance with etymology.

The larval stage of some Thaumetopoeidae are known as processionary caterpillars, so named because they move in columns in search of food, resembling a procession.[5] Some of the species, like the pine and oak processionaries, can constitute a health hazard.
