Moths

Moths with fluffy feet.

An orange moth viewed from the side putting out its orange fluffy feet against a white background

Moths with lines.

A yellow pink and grey moth against a grey background. The yellow forms striking lines against the grey

Moths with hindwings that stick out.

A green moth against a white background. The wings underneath stick out from the wings on top

Moths that look like leaves.

A yellow and brown moth against a white background. It resembles a leaf

Moths that look like Ts.

A white and yellow moth against a light blue background. Its front wings are very small in width and point out perpendicular to the body, and its back wings are held in close to the body, meaning it looks like a T

Moths that have been written on in an ancient alien language.

A brown and yellow moth sitting on a branch. The yellow forms complex patterns against the brown

Moths that resemble tiny angels.

A small white moth viewed from the front clinging onto some grass. Its wings are made up of feather-like structures instead of scales

Moths that feel like sunset.

A sunset yellow and pink moth viewed from the side clinging onto a plant

Moths with long tails.

Metallic moths for the magpie's hoard.

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?
