IIRC most moths can't even eat, so their only purpose in that stage of life is to mate and lay eggs.

- berkes 5y ago~some. not "most", IIRC. Many butterflies (moths are butterflies) are pollinators and eat nectar (and pollen).
- aasasd 5y agoYeah, Richard Dawkins finally cleared it up for me that the primary stage of insects like butterfly is the larva. The larva sits around eating stuff and generally having a good time, whereas after turning into the butterfly it's gonna just mate and die.
