Moths, fascinating nocturnal insects, belong to the order Lepidoptera, which also includes butterflies. They play a crucial role in ecosystems, such as pollinating plants and serving as prey for various predators. With over 160,000 species identified, moths exhibit diverse forms, colors, and behaviors. They are primarily attracted to light sources due to their navigational instincts. Many moth species are also vital in agricultural ecosystems, with some acting as pests to crops. Understanding moth behavior and biology helps in pest control and ecological conservation efforts, emphasizing their importance beyond just their beauty and nocturnal habits.
