One of the easiest ways to tell the difference between a butterfly and a moth is to look at the antennae. A butterfly’s antennae are club-shaped with a long shaft and a bulb at the end. A moth’s antennae are feathery or saw-edged. Insect A is a moth. And Insect B IS A Butterfly. I didn’t know they were related.my name is Angel J. and my teachers name is Mrs. Ragutte.

I think insect A is a moth because it has dull colors, their wings rest at their sides, and moths have thick bodies. Insect B has bright colors, their wings rest together upright, and it has a thin body. So insect B is a butterfly. My name is Nicole, age 10, and my teacher is Mr. Whiteman.

I think Insect A is a moth and Insect B is a butterfly. Insect A is a moth because they have thick bodies and butterflies have thin bodies. Moths also have dull colored wings and a butterflies wings are often more colorful, but not always. I think Insect B is a butterfly because there wings usually rest together and are upright, like in the photo.

I think that Insect A is a butterfly and Insect B is a moth. I found out my answer on Easy Science For Kids.com. I learned that the moth is thicker then a butterfly. Moths are also are duller.That’s why I think insect is a butterfly and insect b is a moth.

I think insect A is a moth because moths have ugly and dull colors and butterfly’s have bright and pretty colors. And I think insect B is a butterfly because butterfly’s have thinner bodies and moths have thicker bodies.

I think insect B is a butterfly because i found out that the butterfly has bright colors on the body, has long and thin antennae. I think that insect A is a moth because the moth has dark colors on his body, it also has short and feathery antennae.

I believe that insect A is a moth. I think this because a moth’s wings are to the side of his body, and it has very dull colors.
On the other hand, I think that insect B is a butterfly because, firstly, a butterflies wings rest upright on its back, and secondly, it has straight, clubbed antennae.

I think that insect A is a moth I think this cause moths have short antennae have less colors than butterflies don’t have clubbed antennae like butterflies and are night insects. I think that insect B is a butterfly cause it has brighter colors than moths it has long antennae also has clubbed antennae and are day insects i found this information from http://www.kidsbutterfly.org.

I think that the insect A on the left is a moth and insect B on the right is a butterfly because I found out that a moths antennae is rough on the edges, and the butterflies is more smooth and curvy. Insect A has a rough antennae and insect B has curvy and smooth antennae. Also I found out that butterflies have brighter colors and moths have dull colors. Insect A has dull colors like a moth, and insect B has bright colors like a butterfly. That’s why I think insect A is a moth and insect B is a butterfly.

The reason that moths and butterflies are different help define one similar insect from another. For the reasons listed below, I believe insect A is a moth, and insect B is a butterfly.
I did my research online and found a website on the differences between the two, which I used for this essay.
One of the reasons that I could tell the two apart, is the antennae. The moth has “Feathery-like” antennae, and the butterfly has straight or club shaped antennae.
The other reason is that I read that while the moth has rather drab wings, a butterfly tends to have more color.
Therefore, my answer still remains. A is a moth, B is a butterfly. If you want to know which website I used, it’s http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/butterflymoth.html

I think insect B is the Butterfly because.
Insect B has a swell shaped antennae and a Moth has a short and feathery antennae. and I found this at http://www.loc.gov. :]
Also a Butterfly holds it’s wing above it’s head a Moth
has it’s wings out side to side.

I think “Insect A” is a Moth and “Insect A” is a Butterfly. A Moth has their wings by their side, also their wings are a dull color. A Butterfly has their wings are together and straight up. Another reason is that is that their wings have bright colors.
That is the way I found the difference between a Moth and a Butterfly.

I think insect A is a moth therefore insect B is a butterfly. I think this because insect A rests its wings by its sides and moths rest its wings by their sides. insect b puts its wings up in the air, therefore it is a butterfly. Insect A has dull colors like a moth. Insect b has bright colors like a butterfly.
Skye, age 10, Mr. Whiteman’s Class
Posted by Skye on 10/01 at 02:56 PM
I think that insect A is moth and insect B is a butterfly because a moth is active at night (nocturnal) and a butterfly is active during the day. Also, a butterfly’s colors are bright but a moth’s colors are dull. Finally, a moth’s wings rest at their sides and a butterfly’s wings rest together upright.
I learned these facts online.

I believe that Insect A is a moth, and insect B is a butterfly because it has bright colors and the wing rest together. Also because Insect B has a thin body and it has a straight or a cubed antennae. I Also believe that Insect A is a moth because moths have dark color and their wings rest at their side. Also I think Insect A is a moth because moths have feathered or pointed antennae.

I think that insect A was a moth because of its brown color and that insect B looked like it was out in the summer and that is the natural habitat.I can also tell because insect B’s tounge that butterflies taste with (I think). that is why I think that insect A is a Moth and insect B is a butterflie
Posted by Caleb 10 mrs.flanagan on 10/01 at 04:38 PM
Instect A: is a moth because it’s colors aren’t as bright. And because it doesn’t have bulbs on it’s antenna.
Insect B: is a butterfly because it’s has bulbs on it’s antenna and it has black and bright colors.

hello! my name is cass and im in Miss flanagans class.
I think “A” is a moth and “B” is a butterfly.
i think “A” is a moth because it seems flatter than a butterfly, and its wings are a lot different.
i think “B” is a butterfly because its wings look like the butterflys that were in the pictures, and its wings don’t seem flat at all, there sticking up.
c u soon!
