Most people think moths are dull, nocturnal, and nothing like butterflies. That couldn’t be more wrong. In the Amazon rainforest, moths come in every color, shape, and size — and many are active during the day. In fact, while there are only about 18,000 species of butterflies worldwide, there are over 160,000 species of moths. From fuzzy antennae to nighttime science traps, this is a closer look at one of the most overlooked — and misunderstood — creatures in the rainforest.
I’m Romi Castagnino and this is Stranger Creatures — decoding the Amazon’s strangest survivors, one episode at a time.
