The Emperor shown here are sometimes mistaken for a butterfly as it flits across Heath Moors.

    Hi friends,

    A moth is an insect closely related to the butterfly, both being of the order Lepidoptera. Moths frequently appear to circle artificial lights, although the reason for this behavior remains unknown. Thanks a lot.....
