Pale Beauty At Rest .....

There are many more species of moths than butterflies. We do not
see them, because most fly a night. However some do fly during
the day. The way to tell a moth from a butterfly is that moths
rest with their wings laid out flat and covering their bodies.
Butterflies rest with their wings erect and closed. Moths tend to
be dull in colour, although there are some very colorful
examples. They are members of the Family Lepidoptera
