HOW TO DISTINGUISH BUTTERFLIES FROM MOTHS

Butterflies are typically distinguished from moths by the club-shaped

thickenings at the ends of their antennæ, and by the fact that when

settling, the wings are folded together over the back. In moths the

antennæ may be of various form, but very rarely club-shaped, and the

rest-position of the wings is horizontal or sloping downward, while in

some instances they may be more or less wrapped round the body.
