  Difference between a butterfly and a moth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Butterflies, on the other hand, are a natural monophyletic group, often given the name 'Rhopalocera'.
Taxonomically, the folk category of butterfly usually comprises the combination of the lepidopteran superfamilies Papilionoidea and the Hesperioidea, while the remaining groups are usually called moths.
However some butterflies, like the skippers, may hold their wings either flat, or folded, or even in-between (the so-called "jet plane" position) when perched.

 Difference between a butterfly and a moth
The Difference between butterflies and moths is subtle, but there are a few ways to recognise the difference between a butterfly and a moth, both insects of the order Lepidoptera.
The reader should understand that the designations "butterfly" and "moth," while indispensable for laypersons and even for scientists who specialize in the Lepidoptera, are popular, not scientific, terms for these familiar insects.
A butterfly has a thin straight pair of antennae which ends in a small club, while moths usually have large feathered antennae in the males that help them to sense female pheremones in the air and to steer themselves when they fly in the darkness and thin, straight, unclubbed antennae in the females.

 Butterfly - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
A butterfly is a flying insect of the order Lepidoptera belonging to one of the superfamilies Hesperioidea (the skippers) and Papilionoidea (all other butterflies).
Although the butterflies are classified in two superfamilies, Hesperioidea and Papilionoidea, these are sister taxa, so the butterflies collectively are thought to constitute a true clade.
An erroneous etymology claims that the word butterfly came from a metathesis of "flutterby"; however, the Old English word was buttorfleoge and a similar word occurs in Dutch, apparently because butterflies were thought to steal milk.

 Butterflights Hidden Worlds - The Caledonian-Record News
All these stiff ribs strengthen a wing and adapt it to the requirements of slow, fluttering or soaring butterfly flight, so the vein pattern is very different from that of a wasp or a mosquito, both of which beat their wings many times a second and are incapable of soaring.
Because a butterfly's flight is relatively slow, the "angle of attack" of its wings is shallow and nearly horizontal, with few wing beats compared to the furious blur of a honeybee.
Butterflies are acutely sensitive to environmental stress, and as their habitat is reduced or affected by pollution, they vanish.
