Moths with spots like unblinking eyes on each wing. Shiny armored beetles. Flies. Once, even a praying mantis.

With over a million known species, insects are by far the most diverse group of organisms on Earth, with conservative estimates indicating there are millions more waiting to be found. But extinction due to human pressures may be outpacing the rate of discovery, with species disappearing before resea

Butterflies fly during the day while moths travel at night – or so you might think. In reality, their behavior is much more complicated. A new Florida Museum of Natural History study offers the first comprehensive overview of the surprisingly complex question of when butterflies and moths are act

It’s easy to get carried away romanticizing the cushy lives of the fabulously wealthy, even those who lived in exotic ancient cultures. We may pin all sorts of stereotypes to them: that they employed servants to perform their mundane chores, bought or bartered for everything they needed and never li
