I am proud to say that our toddler is incredibly observant. He notices if anything is out of place. We took a stroll (him on my back) this afternoon to check on all the plants. As we were walking, he pointed to a spot on the fence and asked what something was.
“Great job Locryn! It’s a moth!”
His reply “A moth? You mean a butterfly?” You can guess what our discussion was on by this comment.
Some of the simple differences between a moth and a butterfly are:
1. Moths tend to be stout and fuzzy; while butterflies are usually slender and smooth.
2. Butterflies tend to have more vibrant color patterns; while moths tend to prefer simpler colors.
3. Butterflies usually come out to find food during the day; while moths are seen more at nighttime.
