No it is not harmful, moths are nothing to be scared of.
Moths are generally harmless to humans. They do not bite or sting, and their main purpose is to reproduce and spread pollen. However, some people may experience allergies to moth scales or dust, which could cause skin irritation or respiratory problems.
The dust on butterfly and moth wings comes from tiny scales that cover their wings. These scales are made of chitin and pigments, which can easily become dislodged and appear as dust when the insects fly or during handling.
it's not really dust. they are scales from the wings.
Moths eat a variety of things, including wool, furs, leather, and dust. To get rid of moths, use moth balls.
They will only die if the wing membrane is damaged or torn due to the loss of protective scales (the dust that coats their wings). Moths can still survive if you touch them and remove some of their scales. Throughout their lives they naturally lose scales doing their everyday activities, yet this does not cause them to die. The scales protect the delicate membrane that makes up their wings, so if too much of them are removed (say if you rub the dust off their wings) they are more susceptible to wing damage, which would make them unable to fly, which would in turn cause them to die since they couldn't do what they need to survive.

Moths do not carry germs that are harmful to humans. However, their wings and bodies can accumulate dust and dirt, which may trigger allergies or asthma in sensitive individuals. It is always best to regularly clean and maintain a clean environment to prevent potential health issues.
butterflies dont have scales, the powder on their wings is what allows them to fly. when a butterfly is handled or loses its coloring,meaning, alot of the colorfull dust on its wings,they can no longer fly.no feathers or scales.
It contains toxins that are harmful to lungs.
Yes it is.
NO! because we do not have the material that moths do which means no flying for us.
It depends on the type of dust, but in general it isn't particularly good for you.
