Moth Menagerie

I've never really thought of moths except to get annoyed at the ones that flutter around lights and sometimes fly straight into you if you are close to the light that they are attracted to you. The moths I generally see are rather dull and boring, so I have always thought of them as the poor cousins of the butterfly. However, as you can see here, moths come in a variety of colors and patterns - so much so, I have had to change my mind about moths - while they will probably never have the same prestige as a pretty butterfly, I now know that they can be just as beautiful.
