	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Bagworm moth
		Several moths in the family Tineidae are commonly regarded as pests because their larvae eat fabric such as clothes and blankets made from natural proteinaceous fibers such as wool or silk.
		Henry Hsiao conjectures that moths, as nocturnal creatures, fly towards the darkest part of the sky in pursuit of safety and are thus inclined to circle ambient objects in the Mach band region.
		The silkworm Bombyx mori is the larva of a moth.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Zygaenidae
		The Zygaenidae are a family of Lepidoptera (moths) typically day-flying with a slow fluttering flight, and with rather clubbed antennae.
		The bright colours are a warning to predators that the moths are distasteful - they contain toxic substances throughout all stages of their life-cycle.
		In April and May of both 2001 and 2002, a homeowner in the City of Fairfax, Fairfax County, Virginia, noticed a large infestation of larvae on her ornamental Euonymus (Celastraceae); the larvae were causing significant defoliation of the plants.

	Singer Lake Bog
		On their first visit to Singer Lake in 1989, Botany Department staff collected a moth, day-flying geometrid moth (Epelis truncataria), that was later identified as the first collected in Ohio.
		One of the food plants for the caterpillar stage of the rare moth is cranberry.
		Prior to the discovery of racket-tailed emerald (Dorocordulia libera) at Singer Lake Bog, it was last reported in Ohio in 1924 from Lake Kelso, Geauga County.

	Geometer moth - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The geometer moths or Geometridae are a family of the order Lepidoptera.
		A very large family with around 26,000 species of moths described (over 300 of which occur in the British Isles), it notably includes the peppered moth, Biston betularia.
		As such they appear rather butterfly like but in most respects they are typical moths: The overwhelming majority fly at night, they possess a frenulum to link the wings and the antennae of the males are often feathered.

	Definition of Moth
		Moths of the type understood to be "attracted to light" are, instead, flummoxed by the proliferation of artificial lights in their local environment, which, if brighter than the brightest celestial object (e.g., the moon), will usurp that object's significance as the reference point for the moth's flight.
		Encountering a brighter artificial light, as the moth maintains its angular relationship to the source of light (per its evolved mode of navigating), but, because the light is nearby, that consistent angle results in a decreasing spiral, until the moth strikes the light source.
		Moths are commonly regarded as pests because the larvae of a few species eat fabric such as clothes and blankets made from natural fibres such as wool.

		The seven species of burnet moths, which are identified by the number of spots on their wings, all fly during the daytime.

		In the spring the tips of the fore-wings are slightly clouded with fl and the spots in the center of the wings are very faint.
		The adult hibernates through the winter and can frequently be found in outside stores/buildings (including my own garage roofspace), piles of wood, hollows in tree trunks etc. It awakens during late February or March, shortly to lay its eggs under the young growth of nettle plants on which the caterpillars feed.
		Overwintering as a chrysalis this species is usually seen in late April, May and June, creamy white in color, the male is distinguishable by having a large patch of orange on the corner of its fore wings, which is absent in the female.

	1 butterfly & 1 moth for ID [Archive] - BirdForum
		I like to look at and photgraph buterflies and moths but I'm not vey good at identifiyng them, The shot of the butterfly was taken outside Stockholm in June and the moth in the east of Sweden at the beginning of August.
		I think the moth is a large emerald (Geometra papilonaria) though, as I've never seen one, I'm not entirely sure.
		I had a look at pictures of Large Emeralds on the Internet and they looked identical so I'm quite happy with that ID. The Meadow Brown seems to be fairly common in Sweden and my picture could well be a somewhat threadbare example judging by the pictures I found on the net.

		Large numbers of moths appeared as soon as the lights were switched on (along with clouds of midges and caddisflies) and were still coming in when they were switched off in the early hours of the morning.
		Other moths attracted to the light were; Silver Y, Chinese Character, Latticed Heath and a Feathered Ranunculus (a species which appears to have been moving inland for the past few years having previously only been recorded on the coast in Suffolk).
		Although conditions appeared to be right during the second week of the month, moths were conspicuous by their absence although Vapourer was seen during the day on the 10th.

		The moth caterpillar with the conical larval case was climbing up a well-painted concrete column supporting a picnic shelter at a highway rest area.
		Unfortunately, most motels are situated in areas less than friendly to moths (acres of concrete, lighting that is too intensive or of the wrong quality), so it was a surprise to find lots of moths at the Comfort Inn in Mt. Dora.
		A large stone wall behind the visitor's center is covered with lichens, mosses, small ferns and other growths that afford hiding places for small insects, including these moths.
