Moths are like butterflies' cousins, but they're a bit shyer and prefer to come out at night. They're covered in soft, fuzzy scales that look like tiny, fluffy pillows. These scales are not just for show; they help keep moths warm and can even be used to tell different types of moths apart.

Did you know that moths are very, very old? They've been around for more than 250 million years! That's older than dinosaurs. Wow, right?

One of the most amazing things about moths is that they can fly without a light to guide them. They have special sensors that help them find their way in the dark, kind of like a built-in compass. Moths also have great hearing. If you listen carefully on a quiet night, you might hear them fluttering their wings as they fly by.

Moths come in many different colors and patterns. Some are brown like tree bark, some are green like leaves, and others are bright and colorful. They're like little artists who paint themselves to blend in with their surroundings. This is called camouflage, and it helps them stay safe from predators.

Here's a fun fact: Moths are really, really attracted to light. If you leave a light on outside at night, you might see moths flying around it. They think the light is the moon and get a little confused, so they fly towards it. It's like they're trying to give the light a big hug!

One of the most famous moths is the Luna Moth. It's as big as your hand and has long, elegant tails on its wings. It's green and silver, like a magical fairy from a storybook. Today our drawing tutorial is about moths, read on if you are interested!
