Moths are a diverse group of insects belonging to the order Lepidoptera, which also includes butterflies. They are characterized by their usually nocturnal habits, antennae that are feathery or filamentous, and wings that are typically covered in scales. Moths come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors, and they play important roles in ecosystems as pollinators, decomposers, and prey for other animals. While some moth species are considered pests due to their larval stage damaging crops or textiles, many others serve vital ecological functions and contribute to the biodiversity of their habitats.
