several butterfly species hbernate over winter and re-emerge in the spring to mate and lay their eggs.\n\nIn the US I believe the Monarch butterfly is a species which hibernates.\n\nIn the UK there are four species that do this. they are the Brimstone, the Comma, the Small Tortoiseshell and the Peacock butterfly.\n\nI've inlcuded some links with more information below:-

Thousands, possibly tens of thousands or more. One I'd suggest is the Mythologica. It has Roman and Greek and loooots of others but I haven't found another that I like as much. It seems to be the most thorough as well, though I've only ever had small town libraries to search through.

Moths live in a world of scent, butterflies in a world of sight.\nMoths are often dull to look at but are hugely successful, butterflies are pretty, but vulnerable and sensitive.\nMoths are the hard workers, butterflies are the prima donnas.\nButterflies are definitely glorified moths.\n(They both feed on nectar, and both live anything from a  few days to a year.)

Most English terms for collectors of things are derived from the Greek rather than the Latin (like numismatist / coin collector from the Greek word for coin, νόμισμα). \n\nTherefore, I suggest machairitism, from the Greek word for knife, which is μαχαίρι.  A collector could be called a machairitist.\n\nJust a thought!

For me, it depends on the species of moth.\n\nMoths like Polyphemus or Sphingids make me happy, and I enjoy seeing them.\n\nMoths of pest species like gypsy moth make me less than happy, and I start formulating plans to determine their distribution and eradicate them and their caterpillars.\n\nMost moths though, are pretty boring.  Little grey and brown fluttery things that mostly make me go 'oh joy, another little grey lep'.
