Butterfly or Moth...


I don't only catch snakes and lizards.
Today, at Alum Rock Park, I caught a butterfly. Or a moth. 
I wasn't sure.
Either way, Angie was pretty impressed that I caught one with my bare hands.

Mrs. Remington was my High School English teacher.
She always said, "It's a sad day when you don't learn something new".
It's probably the best advide I've ever received... 
So I decided to learn something new.

I googled "Butterfly or Moth" and found out that this is probably a butterfly, because:
  1. It has knobs on its antennae
  2. It sits with it's wings upright and closed

I had no idea those were the discerning characteristics of a butterfly... but now I do!
How cool is that?
