 MOTHS OF SABAH, MALAYSIA
Moths form a very large insect group under the order Lepidoptera. There are about 10,000 species in Borneo. Mostly night-flying, they range in
wingspan from 3 mm to about 28 cm of the gigantic Atlas Moth, Attacus atlas, which is among the largest insects in the world. Vital roles of moths
in the tropical ecosystem include pollinators, biodiversity and environmental health indicators, and a source of food for other wildlife. The larvae of
some species can cause severe damage in forestry and agriculture, as defoliators, stem and shoot borers. Showcased here are 71 moth species in
varying sizes, patterns and colours from the tropical rainforests of Sabah (Photos are arranged according to approximate relative scale only).
