The Blonde is a big butterfly fan, although we rarely, if ever, see anything as splendid as that.

Olbrecht Gardens again?

With a few exceptions, moths have feathery antennae, and butterflies have knobs at the end of their antennae. It's a quick way to distinguish between the two.

Butterflies and moths differ in wing storage, too. Butterflies fold their wings vertically while moths lay them horizontal to their bodies.

The idea that butterflies exist at all is such a great one. Nice pic!

I love this photo, especially the crisp, delicate angle of the wings.
