Sri Lanka is a tropical island situated close to the southern tip of India. The invertebrate fauna is as large as it is common to other regions of the world. There are about 2 million species of arthropods found in the world, and still it is counting. So many new species are discover up to this time also. So it is very complicated and difficult to summarize the exact number of species found within a certain region.


The following is an incomplete list of the moths of Sri Lanka.

Moth


Moths are lepidopterans that classified together with their beautiful partners, the butterflies. The two types are easily recognized by first sight with a good naked eye. The main differences are as follows.





















































Feature Butterflies Moths
Shape and structure of antennae thin slender filamentous antennae which are club-shaped at the end. comb-like or feathery antennae, or filamentous and unclubbed.
Wing-coupling mechanisms lack a frenulum. have a frenulum which is a filament arising from the hindwing and coupling (matching up) with barbs on the forewing. The frenulum can be observed only when a specimen is in hand. Some moths have a lobe on the forewing called a jugum that helps in coupling with the hindwing.
Pupae form an exposed pupa, also termed a chrysalis. moth caterpillars spin a cocoon made of silk within which they metamorphose into the pupal stage.
Colouration of the wings bright colours on their wings. usually plain brown, grey, white or black and often with obscuring patterns of zigzags or swirls.
Activity diurnal. nocturnal and crepuscular.
Structure of the body have slender and smoother abdomens. have stout and hairy or furry-looking bodies.
Scales ossess fine scales. larger scales on their wings which makes them look more dense and fluffy.
Appearance of eyes apposition eyes. superposition eyes.
Resting posture fold their wings above their backs when they are perched. rest with their wings spread out to their sides.

Within Sri Lanka, the latest revision of lepidopterans described 1903 species with 58 families of butterflies and moths. Out of these 1903 species, 208 species are butterflies and 1695 species are moths.[1]
