A Bit About Moths 1.

Why Moths?
Moths and Butterflies - of the two butterflies, have the better press although they are both members of the same family Moths. Butterflies are highly visible, colourful and we often see them on beautiful sunny days flitting to and from sweet smelling flowers. Moths on the other hand, eat your clothes, get in your hair and live in dark dusty corners in the dark.

Well, as ever, that is mainly myth. There are day-flying moths as well as nocturnal ones. There are very colourful, large moths and incredibly small and plain ones. Some come in dazzling colours, some in camouflage - some have wing arrangements that look so improbable you might wonder how they can possibly fly.
