"When you think of moths, do you see holes in your clothes, pests in the
pantry, or pesky insects drawn to night lights spoiling your social BBQ? Or
worse, do you have an irrational fear of moths? (That’s called mottephobia).
Would it surprise you to learn moths are not the poor cousin of butterflies?
They’re incredibly diverse and deserve a second chance.
There are about 160,000 species of moths known to science. Compare that to
17,500 species of butterflies.
Moths vary enormously in their size, what they like to eat, how they reproduce
and how they live their lives."
