Water can kill moths but not simply by coming in contact with it. Moths just like butterflies can drown if immersed under water.

Yes, a moth can indeed drown in water. These insects need air to survive and if immersed in water will die.

Most butterflies do need water, though a few are thought not to eat or drink their entire adult lives. They get water from plant nectar and puddles.

What would you feed any moth?

Well, most moths are quite fond of sugar water. No one quite knows why they prefer this particular mixture, but they sure do chow down on it. What you do, is you mix together water (doesn't matter if it is warm or cold...just don't make it freezing or piping hot) with A LOT of sugar. Then, you put a cotton ball into the mixture and let it soak it up. The reason you want to put it into a cotton ball is because if you just put it in a bowl, the moth may drown in its food. Kind of squeeze out some excess water, not a lot, just so the moth can't drown in it, then you're set to go.


What do adult Monarch butterflys eat?

They will drink nectar from flowers. You could give them a sugar water solution. You can put that solution on a sponge so that they can drink it easier, but they can drink from a shallow bowl.


What is personified in the lesson of the moth?

The moral lesson that you could get from the parable of the moth is, if at first you don't succeed, try again.


Is the water you drink the same water you urinate a short time later?

No the water you drink has to go through a multitude of body filters before it is eliminated from the body. The human body contains lots of water. When you drink water it gets added in to the water you already have. When the kidneys remove water from the blood, that water will include some water that you recently drank, but also some water that you drank at some earlier time. In addition, not all the water in the human body is obtained by drinking. The metabolic process by which energy is obtained from sugar (or nutrients which become sugar), also produces a certain amount of water as a by-product. And of course, many solid foods have water content as well. So water in the human body comes from various sources.
