Toggle11. Moths Versus Butterflies



oths and butterflies, despite their apparent similarities, can be distinguished by their antennae and wing structures. Butterflies have club-shaped antennae, while moths exhibit either serrated or feathery antennae.
Furthermore, moths typically have tent-like wings that rest flat on their bodies, while butterflies fold their wings vertically when at rest. These variations in antennae and wing characteristics help differentiate the two groups, allowing us to recognize whether we are observing a moth or a butterfly.
