| Moths | | Macrolepidoptera can be divided into butterflies and moths. Moths do not constitute a zoological unit. Some examples of species of moths are: Arctiidae, Endromidae, owlet moths (Noctuidae), Cymatophoridae, picture-winged leaf moths (Thyrididae), eggars, snout moths or lappet moths (Lasiocampidae), Lemoniidae, saturniids (Saturniidae), hook-tips (Drepanidae), Thaumetopoeidae, Lymantriidae, hawk moths, sphinx moths and hornworms (Sphingidae), burnet or forester moths (Zygaenidae), and Notodontidae.
Moths are not always nocturnal but they only fly in sunny weather. Most moths are inconspicuous and dully coloured and this allows them a kind of camouflage when they rest in the daytime. Their wing colouration often mimics the appearance of their roost (tree bark, dry leaves). | | |
| | Plume moths | | The plume moths (Pterophoridae) are a family of small lepidopterans, belonging to the moths. Plume moths are very similar in appearance to many-plumed moths (Alucitidae) and are often confused with them. They resemble a feather or a small branch. | | |
| | | Latticed Heath | | The latticed heath (Chiasmia clathrata) is a species in the order butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera), the division Ditryia, the superfamily inchworm moths (Geometroidea) and the family geometer moths (Geometridae). A scientific synonym for this species is Semiothisa clathrata. Although they are moths, latticed heath are also active in the day. This species is widespread in Europe. It comes from Italy up to Scandinavia. In the West it is common on the British Islands. It is found as far east as Korea and as far south as Iran. | | |
| | Plume moths have wingspans of 25 - 40 mm. Their forewings and rear wings are divided into feathery, hairy lobes, 2 - 4 and 3 – 4 respectively. In resting position, the wings are folded together and protrude horizontally beyond the body. When at rest, plume moths resemble crane flies. Plume moths feed on different types of Convolvulaceae.
They can be encountered beside small paths and in areas with human settlements. Plume moths are active from May to September. Plume moth caterpillars have 16 feet and feed on the leaves and blossoms of herbaceous plants. They also live in the pith of various woody plants. | | |
| | Lepidopterans - Moths and Butterflies | | The lepidopterans (Lepidoptera), also known as moths and butterflies, represent the most species-rich order of insects. So far, 180,000 species, in 127 families, have been documented , and about 700 new species are discovered every year. Apart from in the Antarctic, moths and butterflies are found worldwide. In Germany, for example, there are about 3700 species. | | |
| | There are about 600 different species of plume moths worldwide, around 50 of which can be found in Central Europe. Some examples of species of plume moths are: Pterophorus pentadactyla, Emmelina monodactyla, Platyptilia carduidactyla and Platyptilia percnodactyla. Due to their characteristic appearance, plume moths can be easily distinguished from other small lepidopterans. | | |
| | Cotton bollworm | | The cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), also known as scarce bordered straw, corn earworm, tobacco budworm or old world bollworm, is a species in the order butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera), the division Ditrysia, the superfamily Noctuoidea, and the family owlet moths (Noctuidae). It is found in Southern Europe, (Central and Northern Europe infrequently ), in Africa and Asia, and Australia and New Zealand. It originated in the tropical and subtropical zones and is regarded there as a pest of a variety of crops. | | |
| | Silver Y | | The silver Y (Autographa gamma) is a migrant species of the genus Autographa, in the order butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera), the division Ditrysia (unranked Macrolepidoptera), the superfamily Noctuoidea, the family owlet moths (Noctuidae), and the subfamily Plusiinae. This species is common in Europe and Asia and migrates each year from south to north and back again. The frequency of its occurrence varies. | | |
| | Endotricha flammealis | | Endotricha flammealis is a species in the order butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera), the superfamily Pyraloidea, the family snout moths (Pyralidae), the subfamily Pyralinae and the genus Endotricha. Adult Endotricha flammealis reach wingspans of 18 - 23 mm. Their body is ochre in colour. Seam field and root field from midfield are insulated by a bright line with brownish edges. The ... | | |
| | Metal mark moths | | The metal mark moths (Choreutidae) are a family in the order Lepidoptera, the suborder Glossata, the infraorder Heteroneura (unranked: Ditrysia), the section Tineina, the subsection Sesiina and the superfamily Choreutoidea. In the past, the Choreutidae belonged to th... | | |
