Why don't moths get the same credit as Butterflies?

[link to www.wildlifeinsight.com]

I have raised moths from eggs and watched them transform into beautiful moths. Cecropia.

Butterfly Supremacy?

most people think of those plain, ugly grey/brown moths that used to plague closets when they think of moths.

and the beautiful moths remain unseen by most.

Uhh- cause their like horse faced pony soldiers compared to butterflies....

The Romans used the same word for both.


Same name in Latin.


Only modern classification is different.
