Mitä tarkoittaa
Moth, or 'yöperhonen' in Finnish, refers to various species of insects within the order Lepidoptera, which includes both butterflies and moths. Moths are typically characterized by their duller colors compared to butterflies, their feathery or hairy antennae, and their nocturnal habits. They play significant roles in various ecosystems, particularly as pollinators and as a food source for other animals. Moths undergo complete metamorphosis, with life stages including egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult. Some species of moths are known for their migrations and can be found on every continent except Antarctica.
