Unique Colorful Moths With Beautiful Patterns That Are Too Majestic

Moths can be called night butterflies.

That is not to say that moths only come out at night but many do. When I was young, I used to think moths were just the ugly version of butterflies and I used to be scared of them. But before you come to burn my house down, I have changed since then and am no longer afraid of moths. However, that doesn’t mean I knew that there were many kinds of moths.
