| | 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. |
