They are dis- tinguished, however, by certain general characteristics, which hold true for the most part in both groups. The butterflies fly by day; the moths fly by night. i\.ll of the higher butterflies go into the chrysalis state without making a silken cocoon, while most of the higher moths make such a cocoon. The bodies of the butterflies are usually slender, wliile those of the larger moths are stout. The antennae of the butterflies are generally slender and commonly en- larged at the tip into a miniature club. The antennae of the larger moths are commonly feathery or are long and slender, tapering gradually toward the Butterfly wing scales, magnified. Holland) (From.
