Butterfly vs. Moth: Do you see the difference?Lesson FourAges Primary and IntermediateObjective: Students know the differences between butterflies and mothsMaterials:Picture of butterfly and a moth (Figure 4)Butterfly vs. Moth activity sheet (Activity Sheet 2)Suggested Approach:Show your class a picture of a butterfly and a moth (Figure 4). Say to them: “Do you see anydifferences between the two?” Tell your class, “There are three major differences betweenmoths and butterflies.”1) Butterflies are often more colorful than moths because butterflies are active duringthe day. Moths are active at night and have earthy colors to camouflage them whilethey sleep during the day.2) Most butterflies have club-shaped antennae or antennae with knobs on the end whilea moth’s antennae are feather-like or taper to a point.3) Moths have a thicker coating of scales than butterflies, giving them a furryappearance. These heavy scales help keep them from losing heat during the nightwhen they are most active.Have the children complete Activity Sheet 2 on the following page to see if they know thedifferences between butterflies and moths.Florida Museum of Natural History http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu 17
