What is the difference between night and day blooming plants?

Day flowering plants are normally pollinated by insects or animals that are active during the day e.g. bees, butterflies and birds. Night flowering plants are pollinated by insects or animals that are active at night such as bats and moths. Night flowering plants are normally very heavily scented to attract insects where as day flowering plants use both sent and visual tools to attract pollinators.

Are moths a type of butterfly?

Butterflies and moths are similar have some differences. Butterflies have knobs on the tips of their antennae while moths may have threadlike, feathery, or blunt antennae, but their antennae lack knobs. Most moths tend to fly chiefly at night, while butterflies are active during the day. When resting, most moths hold their wings folded flat over their backs, while butterflies hold their wings upright over their backs or flat out to the sides. Butterflies often have wings with more colorful patterns than the wings of moths. Butterflies and moths make up the order Lepidoptera within the class Insecta and the phylum Arthropoda. Butterflies belong to the superfamily Rhopalocera which has two main groups. Moths belong to one of the 21 superfamilies grouped together as Heterocera.


Why do wood sorrel plants only open at night?

Wood sorrel plants do not only open at night; they follow a circadian rhythm where their flowers open during the day and close at night. This pattern is likely related to attracting specific pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, that are active during the day. The opening and closing of flowers also help protect the reproductive structures from environmental factors like rain and wind.
