For some reason everybody thinks butterflies are better than moths. We make children's books about butterflies, we use them as metaphors of change. You might be an ugly caterpillar now, but soon you'll grow into a beautiful butterfly.

We go into fields and frolic around trying to catch them and some people even have a collection of them. Granted the people who do collect them do so by impaling the butterflies...but whatever, it's still a compliment.

Moths on the other hand are like the white trash versions of butterflies. Even though moths and butterflies are practically the same creature, for some reason we give moths a bad rap. We laugh at them for flying in into light bulbs. Butterflies would do that too if they weren't asleep at night…

Moths are so attracted to bright light that they'll follow it even if it kills them. You might think that this sort of behaviour makes them stupid. But I like to think that this just shows how dedicated they can be.

We also get mad at moths for eating our clothes. But if butterflies liked the taste of our clothing, they wouldn't hesitate to chomp down on our laundry.

Actually butterflies probably think that they're too good for your clothing. They only eat the fine things in life fine things in life, like flowers. Butterflies think they're too good for your t-shirts!
