Hello Nicole! Could you remove this from my mission, Moths of the Americas since it is a butterfly? A typical way to differentiate moths and butterflies is by the antennae. Butterflies usually have clubbed antennae, which means they look like golf clubs, while moths usually have feathery or just antennae without any specific shapes, but of course there are exceptions! Thanks again, Nicole.
