Moths are underrated throughout most of human history because they were seen as vermin. Moths favorite food is keratin which is the protean that makes up our hair nails etc. Before the advent of cotton clothing and polyesters, wool and silk clothings would get absolutely destroyed by hungry moths since wool is hair and silk is keratin as well. Now a days it’s not a big deal tho since most clothing isn’t made from that anymore. So that’s why moths are underrated lol

@@icecreamlarry8622 They live up to a week in general. Most species do not have mouths so once the caterpillars turn into moths, they depend on the nutrient they ate as larvae. That is why caterpillars have a voracious apetite, they need to be big eaters in order to survive long enough as adults to be able to mate in time. There are a *very* few exceptions that do have mouths, or rather proboscis, the thingy that butterflies have to feed on nectar. For example, the hawkmoths are a family of moths that can eat and they feed on nectar, being another animal that pollinate flowers. They can live up to a month as far as I know.

It's actually not fur, it's scales. Thats why butterflies and moths are in the order lepidoptera; which means scaled wings in latin-greek.

As a person who is afraid of spiders and anything that resembles a spider, this is such a fascinating yet perfect mixture of beauty and horror. It gives me a weird feeling of being in complete awe yet fully aknowledging my fear and knowing that I have control over it which is such an empowering state of mind.

I've had the pleasure of seeing these moths in person. They're very beautiful and adorable. They're so fluffy. I actually saw them before i even knew what it was which is why I took the picture. Many kinds of moths are very common where i live. I think it's because I live near a lot of woods. Moths are very beautiful and I'd argue more versatile in their looks than butterflies. They have magnificent colors, body types, hair types, etc. So amazing. I hope you find more enjoyment in Earth's beautiful creatures.
