Moths and their larvae defend themselves in various ways. Some have an unpleasant taste to birds or mammals. Moth larvae can be covered with irritating 'hairs' or spines. Some of these spines can sting. When a predator tries to eat the caterpillar, some of the 'hairs' can come off when leaving the predator with a mouthful of tasteless fuzz! Some caterpillars are just plain scary-looking (Hickory-horned-devil!) Most moths are active at night and so hide during the day, away from predators. Bats consider night-flying moths quite delicious. Some moths are able to 'trick' bats by hearing/detecting their approach and then taking evasive actions. Camouflage is another way that moths defend themselves. The colors of some moth's wings help the moth to blend into its surroundings. Predators are unable to see the moth and so the moth survives. Some moths have large spots on their wings that look like eyes. If a predator such as a bird sees the moth, it attacks what it thinks are the moth's eyes. However it has merely pecked at the wing and the moth can escape with its head in one piece.
