Like butterflies and bees, moths are hard-working night shift workers of Earth's pollination industry. By the time bees, butterflies, and birds have fled home at nightfall, the moths will begin their shifts, nibbling on the pollen, spreading the pollen from plant to tree in a graceful manner.

Moths are masters of camouflage, the moths Uropyia meticulodina, moths of the family Notodontidae have the ability to transform themselves into a curled dry leaf to spectacularly hide from predators.
