While observing I saw something that looked like a butterfly but after doing further research I found out that is wasn't a butterfly but a moth. I was a little taken back by this because I thought moths only came out at night. During my research I found many moths that look way better than butterflies but the moth that I saw was the typical ugly moth that most people see, the forage looper moth.
I personally don't like bugs and bugs that fly just make my fear worse. The fact that this moth can grow bigger than a quarter sounds pretty scary. There really isn't anything interesting about this moth, it eats grasses. Compared to the other moths I saw I can easily say this is one of the less flashy moths out of the rest. The color of the forage looper moth is dull and boring. This moth can be a zombie like form of a butterfly. I would hate to be the butterfly whose mother tells them to go to prom with this cousin.
The last line makes this blog worth it. (I mean that as a cmpliment.) I often wonder what makes us decide something is pretty and good or ugly and bad. Some of the things we call weeds are sort of pretty.

ReplyDeleteI was always freaked out by moths. they just gave me the creeps. But reading this actually did make me less creeped out about them. And I agree with Ms. Farias, what determines whether something is ugly or beautiful?
ReplyDeleteI can relate I am not much of a bug person either. They seem really creepy to me.
ReplyDeleteis there a relationship between moths and butterflies, like are moths and butterflies cousin's?
