Butterflies and moths differ in several key characteristics. Butterflies generally have brighter colors and smooth, slender bodies, while moths tend to be more muted in color and have stout bodies with fuzzy or hairy textures. Additionally, butterflies typically have club-shaped antennae, whereas moths often possess feathery or filamentous antennae. Lastly, butterflies are mostly diurnal (active during the day), whereas many moths are nocturnal (active at night).

No. Butterflies and Moths lay eggs. These eggs hatch out into caterpillars which eat plany material and grow.

To be more clear, butterfly caterpillars do not make a cocoon; they pupate (transform into a chrysalis) which then hatches into the butterfly However, some moth caterpillers also spin a cocoon round themselves (made of silk) before pupating. Before pupating the caterpiller will normally move off its food source to find somewhere safe and hidden to pupate.
