Giant Silk Mothswhat is this bug?
I was thinking that this was a moth but it closes its wings. So does it mean that it is a butterfly? Thanks for any help.
This is a Rosy Maple Moth. The wing position is actually typical of moths. It is a generalization, but most butterflies fold their wings together over their backs when resting, while moths rest with wings spread apart. There are many exceptions to this generalization.
