Fun fact! Most moths work the night shift, although there are also diurnal or day-flying moths. Nocturnal moths hide out in crevices and under leaves during the hours of daylight, but some have such amazing camouflage that they are able to hide in plain sight, like this Sphingidae moth (Psilogramma increta). https://www.facebook.com/projectnoah/pho...
