Butterfly or Moth?

Moths fly at night and lack clubs at the end of their antennae.Butterflies are mostly brightly colored day-flying insects with long clubbed antennae. They were named so because it was thought that butterflies, or witches that took on the shape of butterflies, stole milk and butter. (Someone else wondered if the word was really meant to be "flutter-by" ).

Still not sure if you’re looking at a moth or a butterfly? Then take a look at its wings when it comes to rest. Moths rest with their wings stretched out, but butterflies rest with their wings folded up.
