What makes BUTTERFLIES and MOTHS different?

Have a great day to all of you, i want to share to you about flowers, i like flowers very much they give my life meaningful when i see flowers with different colors and shape, if the res an occasion like mothers day ill never forget to give my mom flowers..well you know where the flower taken i got it in our garden and when my mother saw her garden she gave a smile to me and telling how a nice girl I am..I compare myself to butterfly because we really like flowers.
You know that butterflies and moth like flowers too...have you ever heard about the difference between butterflies and moth well let me to tell you about this.
Butterflies and moths belong to the same insect family called Lepidoptera.
Insects that belong to this family essentially have small heads with the under jaw protruding. They are also more broad than long. They have large compound eyes placed at the sides of the head and consisting of a large number of separate lenses-with as many as 27,000 in some species-arranged as a mosaic.
Some moths also have an additional pair of eyes at the top of their heads and the second segment of their heads bear the varying lengths and shape of antennae. Butterflies have simple and clubbed tips while moths have comb-shaped, filiform, feathery, etc.
.Mouth parts are adapted for sucking Exterior lobes of the jaw or maxilla, are fused together forming a hollow tube known as the proboscis-which the insects use to suck nectar from fruits or flowers.
Both have three pairs of legs and the wings are four in number and roughly triangular in shape.
Their bodies differ, however, in as much as moth bodies are hairier and fatter. Generally, although with exceptions, butterflies take flight in the day, moths by night.
There are , obviously, no sharp distinctions between the be winged insects. Indeed some moths actually look like butterflies. And, while most butterflies are pretty, a few are pests. Many moths, in contrast are pests.
