How Do Butterflies Differ From Moths?
There are three visible differences. The antennae of a butterfly have little knobs at the ends but the antennae on a moth’s head are feathery and often branched. The butterfly’s body is nipped in at the middle, while a moth’s body has little ‘waist’. Butterflies do not have a mechanism for hooking the fore and hind wings together but moths do.

The sexton beetle performs a useful service, both to itself and nature, by burying any dead mice, birds or other small creatures it finds. A pair will excavate the soil beneath the corpse until it sinks into the earth. The body is covered and the beetle lays its eggs to provide a good supply of food when the eggs hatch.
