Fun fact! Male silk moths are able to detect pheromones from a distance of 7 miles away! Scientists estimate they can "smell" the chemicals given off by female moths at a ratio of a few hundred among 25,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules in a cubic centimeter of air.

You have quite an amazing collection of moths, Nuwan! Do you mind adding all of them to my mission, Moths of the World - National Moth Week? Thanks! Here is the link: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8841449
