DESCRIPTION:

National Moth Week is an annual awareness campaign and fundraiser.

Moths don't get the credit they are due because people think they are not as pretty as butterflies and are known to devour wool sweaters as they roam through the night. The header image disputes this. Moths are fascinating to watch, and with over 11,000 species, each is unique. Moths in their caterpillar form are food for many animals. Winged, they are essential to pollination, nectar collection, and seed distribution. The Malay archipelago hosts the largest moth in the world, which can be up to 60 square inches in size (152.4 square centimeters) with a wing span over a foot.

The primary differentiator between a moth and a butterfly is its antennae. In moths, these are fat and look like feathers or small saws, and butterflies have smooth and thin antennae. Another difference? Butterflies usually fold their wings above them when at rest, and a moth will rest with its wings open and on full display.

The header image is from Belize City's Museum of Belize exhibit on native insects and wildlife. It shows a variety of Central American moths: Photographer LD Lewis, founder of LEEP Calendar.
