It was a hot, humid, and mostly cloudy morning as five volunteers participated in this week's survey. One difference between butterflies and moths is the structure of their antennae. While butterflies' are thin and have a club on the tip, moths' vary from thread-like to plumose. The spectacular antennae on the male Calleta silkmoth shown below are capable of detecting the faintest hint of female pheromones in the air.
