Here's your science lesson for the day.
What's the difference between butterflies and moths?
Butterflies:
- have slender antennae with clubbed tips- hold wings vertically at rest- fly by day.
Moths:
-have feathery/thick antennae-rest with wings flat or tent-like-are mostly nocturnal.
I've been listening to a podcast lately called Ologies. This one is with a lepidopterologist who studies, of course, lepidopterology. If you listen to this one you'll learn everything you ever wondered about butterflies & moths and everything you didn't even know you could wonder about butterflies & moths. Then the next time you're at trivia night and the question is, "What do you call the study of butterflies & moths?" you can quickly jot "lepidopterology" on your slip and turn that in with confidence!
My Weekly-ish Challenge came from our little box of cards.
For the wildcard, however, we changed the rule (as we've been known to do!) from 20 minutes to 1 day.
