Butterflies and moths (rama-rama) are insects belonging to the order Lepidoptera, or 'winged insects' scales (lepis, scales and pterons, wings).
Simply put, butterflies are distinguished from moths aka night butterflies based on their active time and physical characteristics. Butterflies are active during the day, while moths are active at night. The butterfly sleeps or settles with its wings up, the moth settles with its wings spread. Butterflies usually have brilliantly beautiful colors, dark, dull or gray-filled moths. However, these differences are always exceptions, so scientifically it can not be a sure hand. (van Mastrigt and Rosariyanto, 2005).
Butterflies and moths are very numerous, in Java and Bali Island alone caught more than 600 species of butterflies. The type of moth has so far not been made a complete list, there will be awaited type (Whitten et al., 1999). Butterflies become one of the few types of insects that are not harmful to humans.
