Moths are fascinating insects that belong to the order Lepidoptera, which also includes butterflies. They are known for their soft, furry bodies and wide wings, which often come in various colors and patterns. Moths are primarily nocturnal, meaning they are most active at night, and they are attracted to light sources, which is why you might see them fluttering around porch lights. Unlike butterflies, moths tend to have a more robust body and a less vibrant coloration. They play important roles in the ecosystem, such as pollinating flowers and serving as food for other animals. Some species, like the Luna moth, are particularly striking and can be found in various habitats around the world.
