SRI LANKA - MOTHS

A moth is an insect closely related to the butterfly, both being of the order 

Lepidoptera. Moths form the majority of this order; there are thought to be 

150,000 to 250,000 different species of moth (about ten times the number of 

species of butterfly), with thousands of species yet to be described.^[1] Most 

species of moth are nocturnal, but there are crepuscular and diurnal species.
