Here are a few clues to help you in your search. Moths tend to have plump fuzzy bodies with straight, branched or feathery antennae. Butterflies are slender with knobbed antennae. Many moths have impressive colors and patterns while others blend into their surroundings. They can be as small as a pinhead or as big as an adult’s hand.
Many moths are nocturnal. So just leave on the porch light and wait for their arrival.
A bit more information: Take it one step further. Hang a white sheet on the clothesline, shine a light on it and wait for the nocturnal moths to arrive. Keep the fun and learning going with this free downloadable moth coloring book.
