Moth
A moth is an insect of the order Lepidoptera, similar to the butterfly. Moths are generally nocturnal. They can be distinguished from butterflies in several ways.
| The silkworm is the larva of a species of moth. Some species of moth are regarded as pests because their larvae eat fabric such as clothes and blankets[?]. They can be repelled by the scent of cedar or naphthalene (the chemical used in mothballs). |
