Moth scales provide
camoußage, insulation,
and thermoregulation.
They also reduce drag
when the moth is in
ßight. We generally do
not refer our readers to
commercial sites, but
in this case we refer
you to the McCrone
Group website, and in
particular the McCrone
Atlas of Microscope
Particles. Not only am I
loathe to repeat what
they have already said,
I could not do it any
better.

McCrone site.
