Moths are just as valid as butterflies!

As a moth aficionado, I'd say they're much more interesting. They evolved 90 million years before butterflies. There are also 9 times as many moth species than butterfly species. They're also more efficient at pollination than not only butterflies but bees. Go moths!

They aren't related? Like it's convergent evolution shit? Or are they like moth and butterflies

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 17 points 10 months ago

Butterflies are considered to have evolved from moths.

In French they are all butterflies (papillons). There once was a distinction between butterflies and night butterflies (moths) but apparently it's now obsolete and they are just all lepidoptera.

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 1 points 10 months ago

That seems crazy. All butterflies come from moths, so it'd make more sense for Papillon to mean moth. It's like calling everything from the order Rodentia a Capybara, or everything in Eulipotyphla a hedgehog, both things within those orders in smaller numbers.

Makes sense to me, they're so furry they must carry pollen everywhere

Ohh no, Shitty Moth gonna drop a long ass comment about his own experience of something then sneakily add in the end the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

Lol, that guy isn't here is he?

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

He was. I remember seeing him shortly after all the Reddit drama went down

Shittymorph? The legend.

[-] veganpizza69@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Moths are cooler.

Finally I can be nocturnal and not be judged for it

Mothra has entered the chat

Kafka would have been proud!

I'm more impressed they were able to zip all the way up with that zipper on the outside.

[-] LeFantome@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago

IRL many sleeping bags have handles on both sides of the zipper.

Shitty Moth Comix!
A perfect counterpoint to my Teen Borscht Belt Comix, ay-ya-yay meshuga! Oy vey!

The moonlight butterfly in DS1 is actually based off a type of moth; but "moonlight moth" doesn't sound nearly as fantasy.
