The only moth known to change colors is the peppered moth. It does not change them at will though. The peppered moth was once a light color with dark markings. After the Industrial Revolution, it is thought that because of pollution, it became dark with very little light markings.
Research has shown that moths can see colors at night with very little light. Moths fly mostly at night to avoid predators.
Moths are most of the time brown, with a design of the back.
the colour of a moth is usually a grey/black and brown combined
UV lights and white light works.
usually only 1
yellowish
The peppered moth is a classic example used to demonstrate natural selection. It is said that the peppered moth began a light color to blend in to the trees so it would escape being eaten by its predators. However, during the industrial revolution smog darkened the trees and the peppered moth became better adapted as a dark color.

"Leopard moth" can refer to several different species, depending on where you are. There is a type of carpenter worm moth called the leopard moth in Europe, and a type of tiger moth called the leopard moth in the US.
The biggest type of moth is the Atlas moth. It's a proven fact by the scientists of Central Michigan Comity.

The sphinx moth uses the color of its wings to blend in with its surroundings. There are many different varieties of the moth, and each are specialized to live in a specific area.
Moth's eyes are not like human eyes with pupils, so their eyes are something close to a dark brown or a black.
Disruptive selection
They are mainly a pale green color. In some parts of the American South, the lower wing may be of a light tan.
The black color became an adaptation.
To my best knowledge, luna moth caterpillars ARE NOT poisonous. Double check to make sure it is a Luna moth though. Some of its most defining characteristics are its neon green color and its large size.
Yes, the moths wings are the same color as the leaves of its host plant/tree. The caterpillars are also the same color as the leaves.

Luna Moths do not eat, because they do not have a mouth.
