Moth

Septuaginta is a genus of moths in the family Pterophoridae containing only one species, Septuaginta zagulajevi, which is found in Russia (the Chita region in Siberia).^[1]

Moths are a group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies.^[1] They were previously classified as suborder Heterocera, but the group is paraphyletic with respect to butterflies (suborder Rhopalocera) and neither subordinate taxa are used in modern classifications. Moths make up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth,^[2] many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, although there are also crepuscular and diurnal species.
