Did you know? Out of the >2500 species of moth found in the UK, only 2 are known to regularly eat fabric? The vast majority have no interest in your wardrobe and would much rather visit flowers (or don’t eat at all as adults, like this emperor). 🦋👚 #MothFacts #Biodiversity

@Rainmaker1973 Hyalophora cecropia is indeed North America's largest native moth. However, the claim that adult cecropia moths lack functional mouthparts and a digestive system, surviving only two weeks, is accurate. #mothfacts

The Sweet Gale moth caterpillar disguises its silk cocoon by attaching little pebbles on the outside of it. The caterpillar carries the stones in its mouth! 💪 📸: Dominnique Danco For more magnificent #MothFacts 👉 https://t.co/KhAsKMiEvT #MothsMatter

This is the Actias dubernardi, the Chinese moon moth, is a moth of the family Saturniidae! The species was first described by Charles Oberthür in 1897. It takes 70–85 days to progress from an egg to the adult, depending on the temperature and humidity. #bugfacts #mothfacts #moth

Did you know? 💡 There are more than 2500 species of moth in the UK alone. The number of known species worldwide is 140,000 which dwarfs the 18,500 known butterfly species. And there may actually be hundreds of thousands more! #MothsMatter #MothFacts

Did you know? 💡 Moths are indicator species, which means their numbers tell our scientists if an ecosystem is doing well or badly. So, if you are not seeing any moths, have a look to see how you can improve habitat for them. #MothsMatter #MothFacts

#FunFact - Luna moths do not have mouths, so they can't eat! They only live for about a week, and their sole purpose is mating. These moths can be found in Southeast Nebraska. Illustration by: @unlesscassandra #Nebraskaland #MothFacts #NationalMothWeek #moths #MothWeek

Did you know that female Bagworm moths have no wings and live their life in a silken case. After mating, she does everything she can (pokes her head out and moves it) to get the attention of a birds so that they will eat her. Thus her eggs get dispersed. #MothsMatter #MothFacts

Did you know that some caterpillars can live underwater? Some species of the case-building genus can even live underwater for weeks without coming up for air, making them the first known amphibious insects. Watch the video 👉 https://t.co/F7HmjunJQh #MothsMatter #MothFacts

Did you know that a male moth can smell a female more than 7 miles away? They are expert sniffers. #MothsMatter #MothFacts 📸 : Box-tree moth (Koen Thonissen)

These Sunset Moths (C. rhipheus) are some of the most colorful moths in the world! Their appearance is a warning to would-be predators, letting them know that these moths are poisonous if eaten. #moths #sunsetmoth #insects #entemology #mothfacts #bugs #bicbugs #veryprettymoth

A male and female Shuttle-shaped Dart (Agrotis puta). The species is a sexually dimorphic one, which means that the sexes look different in appearance. #moth #mothfacts #insect #insectfacts #mothtrapping @savebutterflies @Buzz_dont_tweet @wildlife_uk @BCSomerset
