| | Moth |
 | | Moths are distinguished from butterflies by having threadlike or feathery antennae. |
 | | Most consume leaves; others feed on roots (eg, ghost moth larvae), bore into tree trunks (carpenter worms), feed beneath the surface of leaves, stems or bark, thus forming tunnels (leaf, stem or bark miners), or bore into fruits or seeds (codling moth larvae). |
 | | Clothes moths, which occur worldwide, are carried from house to house on clothing or other articles of animal origin. |
