Moth is an insect related to the butterfly. It is most popular called as saturnid, they are of order of Lepidoptera. There are more than 100,000 species of moth (larger in the number of species of butterfly), with thousands of species yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal.
Butterfly is a day-flying insect from the same order. Some species are pests because in their larval stages they can damage domestic crops or trees; however, some species are agents of pollination of some plants, and caterpillars of a few butterflies eat harmful insects. Culturally, butterflies are a popular motif in the visual and literary arts.
Simply, the butterfly is distinguished from moths alias night butterfly by its active time and physical attributes. especially on the head, such as the antenna and the mouth. Butterflies are generally active during the day (diurnal), while moths are mostly active at night (nocturnal). Butterfly resting or perch by enforcing its wings, moth perched with its wings spread. Butterflies typically have beautiful bright colors, moths tend to be dark, dull or gray.

Ada lebih dari 100.000 spesies ngengat (lebih besar dalam jumlah spesies kupu-kupu), dengan ribuan spesies belum jelas namanya. Sebagian besar spesies ngengat aktif di malam hari.
Kupu-kupu adalah serangga terbang disiang hari dari urutan yang sama. Beberapa spesiesnya merupakan hama karena dalam tahap larva, mereka dapat merusak tanaman atau pohon, namun beberapa spesies merupakan perantara penyerbukan beberapa tanaman, dan ulat dari beberapa kupu-kupu memakan serangga berbahaya. Secara kultural, kupu-kupu adalah motif yang populer dalam seni visual dan sastra.
Secara sederhana, kupu-kupu dibedakan dari ngengat alias kupu-kupu malam berdasarkan waktu aktifnya dan ciri-ciri fisiknya, terutama pada kepalanya, seperti antena dan mulutnya. Kupu-kupu umumnya aktif di waktu siang (diurnal), sedangkan ngengat kebanyakan aktif di waktu malam (nocturnal). Kupu-kupu beristirahat atau hinggap dengan menegakkan sayapnya, ngengat hinggap dengan membentangkan sayapnya. Kupu-kupu biasanya memiliki warna yang indah cemerlang, ngengat cenderung gelap, kusam atau kelabu.

More fantastic photos! Like you aid, moths tend towards dull coloring, but this one is amazing. I wonder why it has such bright coloring. The eastern US has one outstandingly beautiful moth – the Luna moth, Actias luna. I only saw it a few times – each time was very special. Funny story – one afternoon I saw a Luna moth resting on a plant for sale outside a supermarket – it was summer and they were selling flower plants there. So I bought the plant, and even through the check-out process, the moth stayed on the potted plant, very still. After I got home I was able to release it in a safer place. No photos survive, but it’s a great memory.

Didn’t know that butterflies fold their wings while resting, as opposed to the moth. Thanks for pointing that out. There are some butterflies that come to my garden once in a while – I hope I have a chance to observe this!

That is quite true, Kathleen. The moth in this picture is brighter than others I have ever seen and if you enlarge the picture, you would see its artistic transparent spot and lines on its wings. Just to let you know, few days later this moth laid its eggs under the leaf. Thank you for loving this creature. 🙂

Oh, I am so glad to hear that, Vassilis. As my secret has been shared with you, I can’t wait to see the post. Let me know when it is posted. It took almost three weeks for me to learn intensively how to take photo of them. There are blue butterflies visit my garden every day, but haven’t got any of the pictures, it is very agile and restless. 😦
