What is a "moth"?
A moth is a fascinating insect belonging to the order Lepidoptera, closely related to butterflies but often distinguished by their nocturnal behavior and feathery antennae. Moths come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and colors, with many species exhibiting intricate wing patterns that aid in camouflage or mimicry. Unlike butterflies, moths tend to have thicker bodies and are generally more robust in appearance. These insects play important roles in ecosystems as pollinators and as a vital food source for other animals.
