Moth or Butterfly?

[Spydaman]

This is fluttering about the lounge. I don’t recognise it. Is it a moth or a butterfly?

Moth.
When butterflies land, they fold their wings into a vertical position.

Didn't know that. I dare say there are exceptions to this rule!

There are a few but it's not bad rule for starters.

They have different antennae too, but there are exceptions to this rule also, as well as the day/night rule!

Depends where you are, they have quite a large range, it's expanded in recent years
