Life and Photos by Andy 
One of the easiest ways to tell the difference between a butterfly and a moth is to look at the antennae. A butterfly’s antennae are club-shaped with a long shaft and a bulb at the end. A moth’s antennae are feathery or saw-edged – Hence its a butterfly
Thanks for the tips on how to distinguish between the two. I was thinking it was a butterfly.
you most welcome Andy
There are, however, exceptions to this rule and a few moths (the families Castniidae, Uraniidae, Apoprogonidae, and Sematuridae[3]) have clubbed antennae. Some butterflies, like Pseudopontia paradoxa from the forests of central Africa, lack the club ends. The Hesperiids often have an angle to the tip of the antenna
I often wonder the same!
I had the same question about a week ago. I finally decided that my critter was a butterfly–although I must admit to continued doubt . . .
But it’s a great photo, whatever it may be!
Whichever it is, it sure looks good. 🙂
awesome 🙂 nice picture
