Moth

Moths are a diverse grouping within the same insect order as butterflies. Their caterpillars often feed on plants, while adult feeding ranges from nectar or other liquids to little or no feeding in some species. Camouflage, warning colors and other defenses differ widely. Many nighttime moths encounter hunting bats, though their responses are not identical. The familiar dull household moth represents only a small part of a group that includes brightly colored and day-flying species.
