Moths comprise a group of insects related to butterflies, belonging to the order Lepidoptera. Most lepidopterans are moths and there are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which are yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species.
While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.
Although the rules for distinguishing moths from butterflies are not hard and fast, one very good guiding principle is that butterflies have thin antennae and (with one exception) have small balls or clubs at the end of their antennae. Moth antennae can be quite varied in appearance, but in particular lack the club end. The divisions are named by this principle: "club-antennae" (Rhopalocera) or "varied-antennae" (Heterocera).
Here is a quick video showing the giant moths that I've been raising!! These moths of the "giant silk moth" family have some INCREDIBLE abilities, some of which I describe in the video. Follow me on Instagram!! :D https://www.instagram.com/styro.drake/ After I got so many comments/questions on the moth in my yellow laser video, I felt that it was necessary to show off these cool creatures!

Time moves in funny stages
Fluttering through the night air like moths
Glimpses of weary faces
Pale like flower, like chalk
Patience now, it’s me again
Do you have a light for my cigarette?
I’ve been trying so hard
To forget
Time picks the strangest wages
The more you earn, the more you owe
Your face, it barely ages
Just a line for every secret you know
Half the facts are all we’ve got
We ain’t ready for the second half yet
And I have been trying so hard
To forget
I tell you this but don’t repeat it
At least don’t connect it to my name
I’ve never felt so defeated
Tell me this is all just a game
Ask now
Walk now
Well I see this is getting you upset
I’ve been trying so hard
To forget
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
