Moths defiantly outshine  butterfly's in the beauty stakes. you would think it would be the other way round since moths are active during the night when there colours cant be seen.

Hi, From memory, the Cinnabar and the Burnet moth both have cyanide based bloodstreams. Which is one of the reasons you do not find much eating them.  [xx(]

OOOH could that hurt an infant if they ate one or mangled one in their mouth.. I remember when Neil's little James got hold of a old moth and gave him a little gum joy! Obviously that moth was not poison or he didn't get enough to hurt him.. So what other moths may be poison?
