Moth or Butterfly?

How do u distinguish between a butterfly and a moth?? Box was asking me about this, it's just like "what's the difference between SotongCuttlefish and Squid?" (oh no.. here we go again... hahaa)

My guess is that butterflies "clip" their wings together when they rest but moth "displays" their wings flat when they rest. And i guess.. if u see a "flying insect" at night most likely it would be moths, as butterflies are non-nocturnal? (is there such a word? haha) Anyone know wat do they call moths in Mandarin? Hanyupinyin > "Er2"?? I thought Er2 is those gigantic moths that you usually see during the 7th Lunar month?? Small triangular moths are call wat?? hmm....

Box this is for you to read! hee! Read more from Wikipedia Difference btw moths & Butterflies

Quote From Wikipedia,
"A moth is an insect closely related to the butterfly. Both are of the order Lepidoptera.
People who study butterflies and/or moths are called lepidopterists; the study of butterflies is known as butterflying, and the study of moths mothing...

... Moths are apparently attracted to light, or more specifically, are known to circle bright objects. The reason for this behaviour is not known..."

Btw this Wikipedia.org is really interesting! You can find out just about ANYTHING in the world. It's like an online encylopedia! For more on singapore "history", search fullname of LKY and LHL and you will read up alot of things about them that is normally not known to young singaporeans. Search "Chad Murray" and u get this!!! Search for "idiot" and you will get this!

Oh ok if u are still cracking your head thinking about "what's the difference between SotongCuttlefish and Squid?" Simple do a search and you will get this(squid) and this(cuttlefish)! haha if only this website exists when we are having this earlier debate, and with this all mysteries of the universe will be solved!? WAHAHAA!
