    How do you differentiate a butterfly from a moth?

    A)  Moth is diurnal but butterfly is nocturnal

    B)  Moth has simple eyes but butterfly has compound eyes

    C)  Moth has feathery antennae but butterfly has club-shaped antennae

    D)  Moth has one pair of wings but butterfly has two pairs of wings

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Most butterflies have thin slender filamentous antennae, which are club-shaped jit the end. Moths, on the other hand, often have comb-like or feathery antennae or filamentous and unclubbed. This distinction is the basis for the earliest taxonomic divisions in the Lepidoptera, the Rhopalocera (clubbed horn, the butterflies) and the Heterocera. (varied horn, the moths).
