A colleague (without internet access) was chatting to me and
wanted to know the answer to the following:
Assuming that butterflies need warmth to fly, presumably moths
require less warmth (as generally they are night-flying). Are
moths temperature sensitive? At what temperature do they cease
to fly? What is the minimum temperature?
He has just reared some death's-head hawkmoths (Acherontia
atropos) and I think this has sparked his interest!
If anyone can comment I would be very grateful as I am unable to
answer his questions myself!
Thanks
Rebecca
