| The female moth lays between 60 and 300 eggs | |
| There are about 13,000 species of moths in North America and about 165,000 species in the world.Most moths are nocturnal but seem to be attracted to light (for example, a porch light or a fire). One reason is that because moths are nocturnal, they navigate, or find their way around by using the moon as a point of reference. Moths can become confused by any other light source and they basically get “lost”. As a result, they typically stay where they are, making it look like they are attracted to the light. | |
