Yes, many moths are "endangered." Anyone who tells you otherwise is not aware of the facts.
But there is more than one way to answer your question (even if "yes" is always the answer). First, I assume by "endangered" you mean that they are listed by a government as being in danger of extinction if not protected. If that is what you mean, then there are several "endangered" moths, two of which are in the United States. Those are the Blackburn's sphinx and the Kern primrose sphinx. You can find the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website's endangered species list here: www.fws.gov/endangered/. But each state in the United States can maintain their own list of threatened or endangered species, and some do not use the federal government's terminology, mostly because those are legal terms associated with the federal list. Some states have Species in Need of Conservation, and certainly many states have moths listed. The federal listing bears more weight than the state's listing, if individuals are found to be in violation of the protection rights given by the Endangered Species Act. Not all countries maintain endangered species lists the same way that the U.S. government does, nor do they define "threatened" or "endangered" the same way. These are legal terms--not terms that state a certain reality. Some species are in peril, but are not on any list because of a lack of information and funding to obtain the information.
Because of the lack of information needed to list an animal according to the Endangered Species Act, and because it takes time, expertise, and money to list an organism, many plants and animals are not listed when they should be. Many would argue that all of the large moths in the United States should be on the Endangered Species List, if not endangered, then threatened.
One worldwide threatened species list can be found at http://www.iucnredlist.org/. Note that the worldwide term is "threatened" and not "endangered." If you type "moth" into the search engine, you will find many moths listed not only as threatened, but as extinct!
Many lepidopterists (those who study moths and butterflies) have noticed a sharp decline in the large moths worldwide. They believe this could be caused by an increase in the use of lights at night, which interferes with male mating behavior. It also might be due to pesticides or other environmental factors such as climate change.
Blue morpho butterflies reproduce through a process called copulation, where a male and female butterfly come together to mate. After mating, the female will lay her eggs on a suitable host plant for the larvae to feed on once they hatch. The eggs will develop into caterpillars, which eventually form a chrysalis and metamorphose into adult butterflies.

The most well known butterfly that is endangered in the Rainforest is called the Blue Morpho butterfly. These butterflies are easily spotted by their light blue, shiny wings and small brown dots.
Several insects migrate, including monarch butterflies, dragonflies, and locusts. These insects migrate to find better food sources, suitable breeding grounds, or to escape unfavorable weather conditions. Migration is a survival strategy for these insects to ensure their populations remain healthy and stable.
Monarch Butterflies. They fly south for the winter like birds do.
Yes, Blue Morpho Butterflies do have organ systems. They are organisms therefore they have organ systems.

Blue Morpho Butterflies generally live in trees. They will find a place in the shade where they are protected from the weather.
The blue morpho butterfly is 5 to 8 inches long, one of the largest butterflies known.
The Blue Morpho butterflies have many enemies. Their enemies are as follows: cats, fish, birds, other predatory insects, and human beings.
Approx. 1 gram, it depends on what size, and how old.
Blue morpho butterflies spend their life drinking nectar, sipping juices from rotting fruits of the forest floor, going up to the canopy of the rainforest to sun bask (cuz they're cold blooded), and mating.
