Of all insects, moths are most renowned for their diversity of shapes, sizes, and colors. They comprise about 85 percent of the 130,000 species found in the Order Lepidoptera.
Moths are so diverse that it is often difficult distinguish them from butterflies. While there are many exceptions, what differentiates the two are a moth's lack of a "clubbed" antenna, their nocturnal activity, and the possession of a unique spine-like structure supporting their hind wings.
Like butterflies, moths can be found in most climates or habitats, ranging from the seashore to the highest vegetated parts of mountains and from arctic to tropical regions.
Moths consist of over 100 different families.

Family Brahmaeidae:
The Brahmaeidae are a very small but spectacular family found in the African and Oriental tropics, and extending north into the warmer Palaearctic. The Brahmaeid moths have well developed eyespots, earning for some of the species the common name of owl moth. Unlike moths of many related families, adults of this group have well developed tongues, so they can feed. |
