    They aren’t related? Like it’s convergent evolution shit? Or are they like moth and butterflies

      Butterflies are considered to have evolved from moths.

        In French they are all butterflies (papillons). There once was a distinction between butterflies and night butterflies (moths) but apparently it’s now obsolete and they are just all lepidoptera.

          That seems crazy. All butterflies come from moths, so it’d make more sense for Papillon to mean moth. It’s like calling everything from the order Rodentia a Capybara, or everything in Eulipotyphla a hedgehog, both things within those orders in smaller numbers.

            Weirdly enough, language largelt evolves independently from other species.

      Their study showed that butterflies all share a single common ancestor and give credence to the theory that butterflies are more closely related to very small (micro) moths, rather than those of larger species, contradicting previous studies that had found the opposite to be true.

        Do the micro moths include the ones in cupboards and closets?

          I hate those fuckers. They infested the family house and we can’t seem to get rid of them.

            You have to check everything. We found them nesting in the fucking wallpaper.
