Differences between Butterflies and Moths
Many people have a good image of butterflies, and have a bad image of moths.
蝶と蛾の違い
This might be because butterflies tend to fly during daytime, while moths tend to fly during night.
多くの人が、蝶は美しく、蛾は汚いというイメージを持っています。
However, both butterflies and moths belong to Lepidoptera, and there is no biological difference between the two.
これは、蝶は昼に飛ぶのに対し、蛾は夜に飛ぶことが多いからかもしれません。
It is really difficult to classify butterflies and moths from their characteristics of look and organs.
しかし、蝶と蛾はいずれも鱗翅目で、両者の間に生物学的な違いはありません。
Therefore, in Germany, France, Indonesia, and many other countries, people don’t distinguish butterflies and moths, and both are represented by one word.
見た目や器官の特徴から、蛾と蝶を分類するのは非常に困難です。
