What Is The Difference Between Moths And Butterflies?

What Is The Difference Between Moths And Butterflies?

Moths and butterflies are among the most common insects flying around us, yet not many people know that much about them.

This is why we decided to make this video and take a closer look at what makes a moth and what makes a butterfly.

Is there any difference between moths and butterflies? Or are they all pretty much the same animal?

It's simple one is butterfree and the other is venomoth

Just to let everyone know, there are twenty-nine extant orders of insects (class Insecta): Archaeognatha (Bristletails), Zygentoma (Silverfish and Firebrats), Ephemeroptera (Mayflies), Odonata (Dragonflies and Damselflies), Plecoptera (Stoneflies), Notoptera (Ice-Crawlers and Gladiators), Dermaptera (Earwigs), Blattaria (Cockroaches), Phasmatodea (Stick Insects and Leaf Insects), Orthroptera (Grasshoppers, Locusts, Crickets, and Katydids), Mantodea (Mantises), Isoptera (Termites), Hemiptera (True Bugs), Embioptera (Webspinners), Zoraptera (Angel Insects), Psocoptera (Barklice and Booklice), Phthiraptera (Parasitic Lice), Thysanoptera (Thrips), Raphidoptera (Snakeflies), Megaloptera (Alderflies and Dobsonflies), Neuroptera (Neuropterans), Coleoptera (Beetles), Strepsiptera (Strepsipterans), Mecoptera (Scorpionflies), Diptera (True Flies), Siphonaptera (Fleas), Hymenoptera (Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies), Trichoptera (Caddisflies), and Lepidoptera (Moths and Butterflies).

Just to let everyone know, arthropods are divided into two major lineages, which are the subphyla Myriochelata and Pancrustacea, the former contains the myriapods (superclass Myriapoda) and the chelicerates (superclass Chelicerata) whereas the latter contains the crustaceans (superclass Crustacea) and the hexapods (superclass Hexapoda).

Great video,
I like the moth that acts like a hummingbird.❤❤❤🦋❤❤

[deannekearns]

This video is very badly made; you show chrysalis and butterflies while talking about moths. Stop being so lazy, stop usinng AI and start visually previewing and editing your videos. Your credibility is damaged by this lazy approach to video making and has resulted in me nev er watching any of your videos again

[Spiyder]

My grandma use to call Moths “Night Shift Butterflies” 😂

[skyduty]

that backround music doent fit, feels like im watching a horror film

The reason why those insects were drawn to light has been proved, it’s a muscular reaction to light.

[SilverViper]

There is a recent study, or at least a scientist team who might discovered that insects do not willingly fly to the light source but actually they turn their backs to the light source, but if this source is local it's easy to go in circles and get lost.

In conclusion, they do not fly to the moon but away from it.

They are basically the same thing, one at night and one during the day. Am I right?

7.22 birch hawk moth, my personal favorite, so pink and olive. while talking of moths there is a lot of butterflys

[Quinn-Harrison]

The spongebob butterfly episode is what cemented the creepiness I felt with bugs lol. Not scared of them but ewwww they're creepy!

[JosephHolness-um]

Kinda like comparing the Mothman with Tinker-Bell😂

[michaelhaywood]

Some species overwinter as caterpillars, some as pupae and a few as winged adults.

The guy who wrote the script, an educated guy, and the guy who chose the images, a clueless guy, should have collaborated!

[prschuster]

So butterflies are like a smaller clade separated by a much larger, diverse moth clade within the order Lepidoptera.

I'm not an expert but I'm thinking that the visuals were incongruent with the voice over audio?

[alacrityaudiooffice]

"genre" is pronounced; "jon-ra" with a French "Je"

[deslauriersmama]

@5:38 I see these all the time. What are they? -the red one...

[therongjr]

Butterflies are a type of moth. Otherwise, "moth" is an unscientific paraphyletic grouping.
