Moths



I found this moth today

When you catch or hold a moth or butterfly:

1. Don't touch the wings because it takes off the powdery scales that are all over it's wings.  It could make it unable to fly.

2. If it is injured you can just hold it in the palm of your hand without closing it. 

3. If it is healthy then just catch and cup your hand over it so that it is enclosed inside but not squished.

How do you tell if it is a moth or butterfly???

Butterflies put their wings up folded together when they land.

A moth rests with its wings open
