Asked on March 26, 2021 in Single word requests.
As
a noun and adjective, this is a logical order of insects. Includes
butterfly and moths. They have four large scale-covered wings that bear distinctive markings, and larvae that are caterpillars. I haven’t seen any of these before.
Butterflies flit from plant to plant to feed on nectar or deposit eggs, while moths generally are attracted to bright lights at night. I have not studied insects before but I am aware, now that no insects do research!
Google Books (only a scientific term): the term “lepidopteran” has always been used in a scientific context. On page 134 of insect pest management, we note that:
There are no recorded examples of vertical resistance to lepidopteran pests which has a strong flight capability…
The metaphoric use of the term to describe people who post very similar questions asking for the same words without doing any previous research has no precedent. And I can’t figure out why. Oh no,
here’s another Lepidopteran post.
How would you define a “self”, someone said: “in such a short word, what is a common sense” and “the following are the standards”.
