Moths

Moths belong to the order Lepidoptera and are closely related to butterflies. They are diverse insects with a wide range of sizes, shapes, and colors. Moths are typically nocturnal, although some species are active during the day.

Identification Tips: They have stout bodies, feathery or filamentous antennae, and two pairs of wings covered in scales. Moths often display intricate patterns and cryptic colouration, which aid in camouflage. When identifying moths, observe their body shape, wing structure and antennae.
