See Wings


Moth or Butterfly?
The yellow one is 10 times bigger than the blue-brown one.





That is right, the yellow one (above) is the moth and the blue-brown one (below) is the butterfly. One way to distinguish them is on how they rest their wings, if backward, they're butterflies and if rested like the yellow one, they're moth. Thus, Mariposa is not actually a butterfly but a big moth!
