British moths

British moths are a diverse group of insects related to butterflies, with thousands of species across the UK. They play essential roles in ecosystems as pollinators and as food for other wildlife. Moths are typically nocturnal, attracted to lights, and have various sizes, colors, and patterns that help them camouflage from predators. They undergo complete metamorphosis, starting as eggs, then caterpillars (larvae), pupae, and finally adult moths. Many species are indicators of environmental health, and conservation efforts help protect their habitats from threats like habitat loss and pollution.
