Why are moths nocturnal when they could be awake during the day to get more light?
In: Biology
Moths are flightless larva for most of their life to span. When they do finally develop wings it’s only for a short period of time and most of their energy goes towards finding a mate and laying eggs. moths navigate mostly by smell so light doesn’t really help them much. when they do need to eat there are plenty of plants that actually only bloom at night and require moths.
