The most notable of these is the silkworm, the larva of the domesticated moth Bombyx mori. Some moths are farmed for their economic value. Many species of adult moths do however eat: for instance, many will drink nectar. This is possible because they live off the food stores from when they were a caterpillar, and only live a short time as an adult (roughly a week for some species). Some, like the Luna, Polyphemus, Atlas, Promethea, cecropia, and other large moths do not have mouth parts. While moths are notorious for eating clothing, most species do not, and some moth adults do not even eat at all. Moth larvae may be killed by freezing the items which they infest for several days at a temperature below в€’8В вЊ (18В вЏ). Naphthalene (the chemical used in mothballs) is considered more effective, but there are concerns over its effects on human health. There are some reports that they may be repelled by the scent of wood from juniper and cedar, by lavender, or by other natural oils however, many consider this unlikely to prevent infestation. They are less likely to eat mixed materials containing some artificial fibers. Several moths in the family Tineidae are commonly regarded as pests because their larvae eat fabric such as clothes and blankets made from natural proteinaceous fibers such as wool or silk. Also in sub-Saharan Africa, the African sugarcane borer is a major pest of sugarcane, maize, and sorghum. In tropical and subtropical climates, the diamondback moth ( Plutella xylostella) is perhaps the most serious pest of brassicaceous crops. In temperate climates, the codling moth causes extensive damage, especially to fruit farms. The caterpillar of the gypsy moth ( Lymantria dispar) causes severe damage to forests in the northeastern United States, where it is an invasive species.

Examples include corn borers and bollworms. Some moths, particularly their caterpillars, can be major agricultural pests in many parts of the world. Notice the bristle springing from the underside of the hindwing ( frenulum) and running forward to be held in a small catch of the forewing, whose function is to link the wings together. This species is a serious forest pest when in its larval state.

Its origins are possibly related to the Old English maГ°a meaning ' maggot' or from the root of midge which until the 16th century was used mostly to indicate the larva, usually in reference to devouring clothes.ДЄn adult male pine processionary moth ( Thaumetopoea pityocampa). Northumbrian mohГ°e) from Common Germanic (compare Old Norse motti, Dutch mot, and German Motte all meaning 'moth'). The modern English word moth comes from Old English moГ°Г°e ( cf. Lepidoptera differs between butterflies and other organisms due to evolving a special characteristic of having the tube-like proboscis in the Middle Triassic which allowed them to acquire nectar from flowering plants. The divisions are named by this principle: 'club-antennae' (Rhopalocera) or 'varied-antennae' (Heterocera). Moth antennae are usually feathery with no ball on the end. ДЄlthough the rules for distinguishing moths from butterflies are not well established, one very good guiding principle is that butterflies have thin antennae and (with the exception of the family Hedylidae) have small balls or clubs at the end of their antennae. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia. While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not.
