moth?<\/strong> This is a question we hear on a regular basis. After spending a few summers surveying for butterflies, the difference is almost an intuition. Just something in how butterflies move compared to moths. However if you are new to the world of butterflies (or moths), this isn\u2019t a satisfactory answer.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever confused a moth with a butterfly or vice versa \u2013 I can\u2019t blame you, you have good reason after all they are very similar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Both butterflies and moths belong to the animal order Lepidoptera.<\/strong> They are both flying insects defined by their scale covered wings (often thought of as dust-covered wings). Both fulfill a similar role in their ecosystems as pollinators of flowering plants. With all of these similarities butterflies and moths are easily confused. I\u2019ll list some of the key differences between butterflies and moths. Hopefully by the end of this blog you will be able to tell them apart.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-7k5spzx-854a569976312e07d9c0e47f1f40114d\">\n.avia-image-container.av-7k5spzx-854a569976312e07d9c0e47f1f40114d img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-7k5spzx-854a569976312e07d9c0e47f1f40114d .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-7k5spzx-854a569976312e07d9c0e47f1f40114d av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-41124 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-41124 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Cartoon.jpeg' alt='' title='Cartoon'  height=\"821\" width=\"1200\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lixcljmn-6f8f48904a1f14be6dc7c87ac7ec7279'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Some general ways to distinguish between butterflies and moths.

Moths on the other hand are often more active during the night or nocturnal. So if you spot a lepidoptera proudly fluttering in the midday sun, is it a butterfly? Complicating things, there are some exceptions to this rule, particularly with moths some of which are diurnal or crepuscular (active at sundown). Luckily for us there are some other features which can help us separate these crossover species.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Wing Posture<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is a more challenging identification tool, but it is nonetheless useful to have in your arsenal. Moths usually spread their wings out while they are at rest or hold them against their body. While they are resting butterflies fold their wings up behind their back. This can get a bit tricky however, as butterflies will open their wings while they are basking in the sun. If you are in a shaded spot or it is overcast out and you see a lepidoptera in full spread, you can be confident that you are looking at a moth. However, once again there are exceptions to this rule.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Antenna shape<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So if there are exceptions to all of these rules, what is one feature that truly distinguishes these two groups? One of the more reliable tells is the shape of the antennae. Butterflies have antennae that are shaped like\u2026 radio antennae or some people describe it as being club-shaped. Moths on the other hand usually have feathered or branched antennae or more specifically lack the rounded club shape on the end of the antenna.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-3yh8ddm-e0cb584efa25aa7ae941097296118308 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3dxs01m-310e3b19fdd6f3aa67120f1c5e763a9b\">\n.avia-image-container.av-3dxs01m-310e3b19fdd6f3aa67120f1c5e763a9b img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-3dxs01m-310e3b19fdd6f3aa67120f1c5e763a9b .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-3dxs01m-310e3b19fdd6f3aa67120f1c5e763a9b av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-14  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-41125 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-41125 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ButterflyAntenna-495x400.png' alt='' title='ButterflyAntenna'  height=\"400\" width=\"495\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-libxyxp4-3c78643b0db419ea84d7dbce1a58e8d6'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Notice the club shape of a butterfly\u2019s antennae?
