Ever see a luna moth? or a cecropia moth, or a Polyphemus moth?

I believe you. Absolutely. But in general the nocturnal moths which I commonly encounter are rather plain looking compared to butterflies. I do examine moths closely and many of them do have very interesting patterns. This is just my own anecdotal observations.

I used to find sweetheart moth underwings - something was eating them- and I kept trying to figure out which butterfly had such pretty wings - pink and orange, bordered by black.
A sweetheart moth at rest is a chunky dull brown thing, and even when it flies, you barely see the color on the wings. I wonder why it is that way.
