Yesterday morning ,when I was walking in our front yard , I saw a butterfly sitting on the ground .
I wondered the butterfly must be feeling hungry , that's why it has come in search of nectar early in the morning . I wanted to catch it .
But I felt uneasy . Butterflies are colourful . Anyone who watches them flying , feels happy too . But this one is black in colour . that too it has spread its wings wide open.
I thought it may not be a butterfly . It must be something else .
My father said it is not a butterfly but a moth . Both butterfly and moth belongs to same family . That's why they look same .
But there are some differences between them . I have listed them down .
1. Butterflies are seen during day time where as moths are nocturnal creatures . Means they are seen during night .
2. Butterflies rest with their wings closed whereas moths rest with their wings open .
3 . Moths get attracted towards light during night .
