Moths is the plural form of moth, a nocturnal Lepidoptera insect. In everyday use, it refers to multiple moths or to moths collectively, sometimes emphasizing their delicate wings and nocturnal behavior. The word is brief, with a short vowel and a consonant cluster that can be tricky for learners due to its final /s/ and the short /ɒ/ or /ɑː/ vowel depending on accent.
