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).
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms of the kingdom Animalia (also called Metazoa). All animals are motile, meaning they can move spontaneously and independently, at some point in their lives. Their body plan eventually becomes fixed as they develop, although some undergo a process of metamorphosis later on in their lives. All animals are heterotrophs: they must ingest other organisms or their products for sustenance.
Most known animal phyla appeared in the fossil record as marine species during the Cambrian explosion, about 542 million years ago. Animals are divided into various sub-groups, some of which are: vertebrates (birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish); molluscs (clams, oysters, octopuses, squid, snails); arthropods (millipedes, centipedes, insects, spiders, scorpions, crabs, lobsters, shrimp); annelids (earthworms, leeches); sponges; and jellyfish.
The word "animal" comes from the Latin animalis, meaning having breath, having soul or living being. In everyday non-scientific usage the word excludes humans – that is, "animal" is often used to refer only to non-human members of the kingdom Animalia; often, only closer relatives of humans such as mammals, or mammals and other vertebrates, are meant. The biological definition of the word refers to all members of the kingdom Animalia, encompassing creatures as diverse as sponges, jellyfish, insects, and humans.
Anthony James Griffith (born 28 October 1986) is an English-born former Montserrat international footballer who was noted as a tough tackling defensive midfielder, though at times this has led to him to having a poor disciplinary record.
Impressing at non-league Halifax Town, he turned professional with Doncaster Rovers in 2005. Used sparingly in 2005–06, he was loaned out to Oxford United in March 2006, though did not make it onto the pitch. In 2006–07 he was loaned out to Darlington and Stafford Rangers, before he spent the 2007–08 campaign on loan at Halifax Town. In April 2008 he signed with Port Vale, and became a first team regular in 2008–09. He remained a key first team figure in 2009–10 and 2010–11, and was voted the club's Player of the Year in 2010. He continued to impress for the "Valiants", and earned a move up a division to Leyton Orient in May 2012. He returned to Port Vale on loan in March 2013, and helped the club to secure promotion out of League Two in 2012–13, before re-joining on a permanent basis in the summer. He signed with Shrewsbury Town in August 2014, before moving on to Carlisle United in January 2015. Six months later he signed for Altrincham before retiring in September 2015 due to a hip injury.
Today I started to think about all the Winter Moths I saw last night. So I decided to read about what Message does the Moth have for me. I read from Steven Farmers Book called Animal Spirit Guides. As most of you know the Raccoon is my main Totem Animal. Occasionally another Animal/Insect will enter my life and they always have such a great message for me! Today I had more Moths...while I was cooking dinner a few showed up on my windows being attracted to the lights in my house! The weather has been so odd,, last night it was 34* and today it got to 56*. I thought I saw the last of my Raccoon Friends,, but tonight,,, they are out in my backyard! Im so happy to say that Amber Raccoon has all 5 of her Kits with her tonight! This is very unusual..we have Coyotes and Fishers!! She is one To...

"I was twenty-two when I started [teaching], but I looked like I was fifteen. The kids were seventeen but they looked thirty-five. They didn't think I could possibly be their English teacher, but they liked that my name was Mr. Manley." From The Moth GrandSLAM at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on 6/21/2015.

An Australian Hawk Moth emerging from its pupa. Species is probably Coequosa australasiae or similar. Wow, this video has really polarised opinion - between those who regard it as one of the most beautiful on Youtube... to those who regard it as a hideous abomination! So in response to both, I have decided to upload the unedited footage - so just in case you can't get enough of the hideous beauty that is The Hatching of the Hawk Moth - now you can see all 7 minutes WITHOUT the soothing background music to lull you into a false sense of security! http://youtu.be/f-hXQbGjlIA The caterpillar spends several weeks or months in the pupal stage, buried very close to the surface. Hatching takes around half and hour to an hour, during which time the moth is very vulnerable to predation by birds, ...
A comic must earn his living as a clown while suffering the ultimate heartbreak. Anthony Griffith lives in the mountains of California at 5,000 feet elevation in an animal protected community. It's much different from the inner city of Chicago where he used to live, but he still travels doing stand-up. He says that the overwhelming positive response of him telling his story at The Moth has prompted him to write my one man show and pen other short stories now in development.
The Atlas Moth, Attacus atlas, is one of the largest species of butterfly that can be kept by insect enthusiasts. The moth is beautiful and very large, but also the caterpillars look amazing, and is sometimes kept as a pet.
Today's Daily Deity is the Moth Animal Totem Animal Spirit Messages are most closely aligned with the Page of Cups court card in the Tarot deck. The most relevant key symbolic terms of moth are: “psychic abilities, fragility, attraction, and faith”. (psychic abilities) Moth is the medicine of extra-sensory perception. Whereas butterflies are primarily diurnal creatures, moths are distinctly nocturnal creatures, who rely on their sensory perception to navigate the night. Here comes your psychic ability or inner- knowingness to navigate your way through life. Utilize your instinctive intuition rather than relying on the concrete aspects of things that you can see, touch and hear. See beyond the eyes. Feel beyond your touch. Listen beyond the words you hear. (fragility) This animal totem ...

'the Moth' is the strange tale of two rivalling entomologists, each determined to demolish the other's life's work. When one of them dies, the other struggles to cope in the absence of his rival. And then he discovers an entirely new species of moth a moth very reminiscent of his dead rival and which pursues him wherever he goes.

[Incomprehensible]
I can feel the animal inside
My resolve is weakening
Pounding on the doors of my mind
It's nearly overpowering
I cannot begin to describe
The hunger that I feel again
Run if you intend to survive
For the beast is coming to life
Taking more than a glimmer
Of this tainted moonlight
Death approaches on this night
For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in hell tonight
I can feel the calling again
The primal need is filling me
Changes are about to begin
And now my blood is boiling
I can see the fear in your eyes
But you can't bring yourself to scream
Time to shed the mortal disguise
For the beast is coming to life
Taking more than a glimmer
Of this tainted moonlight
Death approaches on this night
For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in hell tonight
We begin the hunt tonight
'Til the power courses, the creatures take flight
When the kill is close and I will be satisfied
For the smell of fear tonight
Wakes an ancient lust that will not be denied
You're mine
For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in hell tonight
For the animal's soul is mine
And the world around will never hear your cries
An unholy crime
And now we both shall dine in hell tonight
