picture info	Moth Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995.

Dried in air, the seeds weigh about 1 mg each. Varieties ''Collinsia heterophylla'' var. ''austromontana'' ''Collinsia heterophylla'' var. ''heterophylla'' Taxonomy The species was first described as ''Collinsia bicolor'' by George Bentham in 1835, but this name proved to be a later homonym of ''Collinsia bicolor'' Raf.
