Catch a butterfly. What's the difference between a butterfly and a moth?

Every summer, there are all kinds of butterflies flying among the flowers. In the countryside, many people also like to go to the flowers to catch butterflies, so if we catch butterflies, how should we raise them? As we all know, a butterfly without an adult is actually a very disgusting caterpillar. So what's the difference between moths and butterflies that we often see?

How to raise a butterfly after catching it?

1. In fact, the general method of butterfly culture is the same as that of sericulture. The cage is a wooden frame made of wood strips that is 2 meters long, 1.5 meters wide and 1.8-2 meters high, covered with 16-18 mesh copper yarn, iron yarn or nylon cloth.

2. Sufficient food is needed to raise butterflies. Water, honey, syrup and milk are commonly used liquid feed. The concentration of sugar water or honey water is generally 1-10%, which can be put into cups, plates and other containers or sucked with skimmed cotton or gauze and then fed in containers. In addition, different feeds can be prepared according to butterfly "taste", such as sucrose, glucose, dry yeast, casein, filter paper powder, cabbage leaves and so on. Butterflies are easy to keep, as long as they are fed on time.

What is the difference between a butterfly and a moth

1. The difference between butterflies and moths is that moths fly day and night, most of them are brown or black, and few colors are as bright as butterflies. The top of the antennae of most moths is needle-like curved or the whole antennae is feathery, and a few moths (Noctuidae, Cerambycidae) are similar to butterflies because of their diurnal activities.

2. The scale powder on the front of most butterfly wings is bright in color, and the wing surface is not plush. A few butterflies of the family Nymphalidae have obvious plush on the hindwing roots. Moths generally have a thick coat, just as moths of the family Spodoptera are easily confused with hummingbirds during flight. Moths move at night, while discs move during the day.

How long is the life span of butterflies?

Butterflies have a long life span of 11 months and a short life span of only 2-3 weeks. According to records, the shortest life span of butterflies is only a few hours. Generally speaking, the life span of butterfly adults is about two weeks. if the whole life history (eggs, larvae, pupae, adults) is taken into account, the life span is about more than a month, but butterflies born in winter live longer. There are about 14000 species in the world, while the smallest one is only about 0.7cm.

In the above article, after the introduction of the editor, I believe we all know that butterflies and moths belong to two different species of creatures. A butterfly is a caterpillar before it is an adult, and a moth is a baby silkworm before it is an adult. So there is a big difference between them.
