Only real difference between butterflies and all other moths is that butterflies cannot unhook their forewings from hindwings, so cannot oscillate forewings independently to help them warm up, which is pretty much why they need sunny days, whereas some moths can fly when it's freezing cold

Have you glued a butterfly to your nose :-) I was in Regent's Park the other day sitting having a cup of tea at a pub garden bench type of thing and a robin came and sat on my lap! Wildlife eh.

It's a male Emperor moth, standard joke photo among moth-ers, done it several times before, hahah. It was in the garden, I gently picked it up and put it on my nose, took the selfie...

*That's* surely the difference between moths and butterflies, a butterfly wouldn't let you pick it up would it...? I've always found them a bit skittish and they just fly off.
