3 Moths
​
One of the easiest ways to tell the difference between a butterfly and a moth is to look at the antennae. A butterfly's antennae are club-shaped with a long shaft and a bulb at the end. A moth's antennae are feathery or saw-edged. Butterflies often close their wings, moths' are usually open. For now, that is all I have to sort these, which I am assuming are moths.
