I'm a moth too
"It seems, like marvellous moths, you have an underappreciated style. Often dismissed as butterflies' drab cousins, many moths wear striking patterns and colours, like this emperor moth.
Moths have developed cunning ways to evade bats, their biggest predators. Some moths make high-pitched, ultrasonic squeaks that jam the sonar bats use to locate them.
Adult moths stick to an all-liquid diet (if they eat at all). Most drink nectar from flowers, sap from trees or sugary liquid from fruits.
Many moths doze all day and stay up at night. Some flowers have evolved to produce night-time perfume to attract moths to them. But some moths can see colours in the dark."
