Summary

Introduction

Moths form a diverse group of species that are predominantly active at night. They are colourful, have an ecological role, but are less well described compared to their closest relatives, the butterflies. This ecosystem consists of 312 language editions of Wikipedia and sister projects such as Wikimedia com mons (a multimedia repository), and Wikidata (a public knowledge graph). Through Wikidata, external data repositories can be integrated into this knowledge landscape on moths.
