Moths belong to the order called Lepidoptera, and there are more than 150,000 moth species in this group.  They are closely related to butterflies, and they share similar characteristics, such as having wings.
Moths can be found anywhere around the world, and you'd rarely see them during the daytime unless dining on flower nectar or seeking a mate. Moths are mostly nocturnal. In fact, they're considered pests because of this behavior and the damage they cause in just one night. Moths may be drawn to bright lights when they fly around your home at night.
There are different types of moths that can attack your home. They include clothes moths and pantry moths. Here is more information about them.
