Taxonomy Tournament: Insects

Taxonomy Tournament: Insects

Lepidoptera. This order is made up of butterflies and moths. It is the second largest order (behind beetles) making up 10% of all described species of living things. They have large triangular wings and a proboscis for siphoning nectar.

Trichoptera. This order is made up of caddisflies, also called rail-flies, moth-like insects with aquatic larvae.

Any idea how i'll make the percentages more exact using traditional media?? Just eyeball it?! My autistic perfectionist ass could never (this is ironic i could probably do it,, it would just be nice to have a better way)

In light of the recent popularity of my moth building poll, i shall be attempting to draw the moth when the poll closes :))

Anyone else who wants to draw it is welcome to!!

(if i forget im sorry feel free to annoy me abt it)

Ask me stuff about moths :)

there should be a hotline for me to call autistic people with specific hyperfixations every time i have a question

If u like sorbet and are willing to do a little baking lemme put u onto something

Alright alright i love moths so here goes :)

Elephant hawkmoths can see colour/hue in the dark but not brightness/tone. Humans can see tone but not hue in the dark.

Moths were around before dinosaurs

Moths didn't evolve ears to detect bats but to detect other predators that predated bats

The reason sloths poop on the ground, despite that being a highly vulnerable position with their slow speed, is because they have a symbiotic relationship with moths. The moth larva feed on their poop and the moth adults help to grow algae in their fur, which they eat for nutrients (hypothetically, this hasn't been confirmed)

Some moths don't have mouthparts or digestive systems. Their adult stage is just for sexy times. Then death.

Earless moths make sounds with their wings that deter bats. The structure of the wings is sort of corrugated and when they flap them it makes the corrugation crackle.

Don't mention moths in front of me, I'll start screaming the name of moths I like

I don't actually know a lot about moths. Hey. Hey moth people on Tumblr. Fun moth facts? Favourite moths?
