Five Cool Facts About Moths

From their diverse range of sizes and colors to their important roles in ecosystems, moths are worthy of admiration and study.

Key Differences Between Moths and Butterflies
Moths and butterflies are both insects belonging to the order Lepidoptera, but they have distinct differences. One key difference is that moths are generally active at night, while butterflies are active during the day.
Another difference is in their antennae; moths have feathery or comb-like antennae, while butterflies have thin and elongated antennae with a knob at the end. Additionally, moths tend to have duller and less vibrant wings than butterflies.
Another difference is that moths tend to have a thicker and hairier body compared to the slender and smoother body of butterflies.
Finally, moths typically form cocoons to undergo metamorphosis, while butterflies form chrysalises. These differences may seem small, but they are significant enough to distinguish between the two groups of insects.
