Night-flying moths

Night-flying moths are insects active primarily after sunset, using darkness for protection and navigation. They have specialized adaptations like sensitive antennae to detect pheromones and navigate via moonlight or artificial lights. These moths play essential roles in ecosystems, such as pollination and serving as food for other animals. Their nocturnal behavior helps them avoid predators and harsh daytime conditions. Many species are attracted to artificial lights, which can sometimes cause disorientation. Overall, night-flying moths are a diverse and vital group, contributing to biodiversity and ecological balance.
