@samueltyler2 I've never seen a shiny boff before!

@Tumbleweed are there more than one in the image?
Tumbleweed · F
@samueltyler2 No, just one. On the door with the porch light on.

@Tumbleweed then why boff? I love the silvery, slightly blurred effect.

@Tumbleweed I looked up the word and couldn't find a definition to match. How did you convert the image?

@samueltyler2 What do you mean convert the image?
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Tumbleweed the original has a silvery, not of our earth, appearance, the last image you posted, I assume, was the original.

@Tumbleweed the top one actually looks manipulated. I love the way the light causes a glow below the moth/butterfly whatever it is.

@Tumbleweed i just actually did a Google, i never actually tried to define the difference between a moth and butterfly.
The primary differences between moths and butterflies are: moths typically have stout, fuzzy bodies, while butterflies are slender and smooth; moths have feathery or saw-edged antennae versus the club-tipped antennae of butterflies; moths usually rest with their wings spread out, and butterflies keep them folded up; and moths pupate in a silky cocoon, whereas butterflies form a hard, smooth chrysalis.
Body
Moths: Often have thicker, chunkier bodies that appear to be covered in fine hairs, giving them a "furry" look.
Butterflies: Generally have a more slender, streamlined body shape that is smoother and less hairy.
Antennae
Moths: Typically have feathery or saw-edged antennae, especially males, which are used to detect pheromones.
Butterflies: Have long, thin antennae that end in a distinctive bulb or club-shaped tip.
Wing Position at Rest
Moths: Usually hold their wings spread out flat when they are resting.
Butterflies: Tend to rest with their wings closed and folded up vertically.

@samueltyler2 Burterflies come out in the day time & boffs are nocturnal
