Alright Alright I Love Moths So Here Goes :)

Alright alright i love moths so here goes :)

Elephant hawkmoths can see colour/hue in the dark but not brightness/tone. Humans can see tone but not hue in the dark.

Moths were around before dinosaurs

Moths didn't evolve ears to detect bats but to detect other predators that predated bats

The reason sloths poop on the ground, despite that being a highly vulnerable position with their slow speed, is because they have a symbiotic relationship with moths. The moth larva feed on their poop and the moth adults help to grow algae in their fur, which they eat for nutrients (hypothetically, this hasn't been confirmed)

Some moths don't have mouthparts or digestive systems. Their adult stage is just for sexy times. Then death.

Earless moths make sounds with their wings that deter bats. The structure of the wings is sort of corrugated and when they flap them it makes the corrugation crackle.

Don't mention moths in front of me, I'll start screaming the name of moths I like

I don't actually know a lot about moths. Hey. Hey moth people on Tumblr. Fun moth facts? Favourite moths?
