Why is it..

Why is it that butterflies are so beautiful, but their relative, the moth, is just plain scary?

Whoops - this blue beauty is a bit fuzzy, but such an astonishing color and size:

I could look at this for hours and hours (not these pictures, but a butterfly in real life!)  - so delicate and fragile, painted with fine felt-tipped designs and floating gently by as lightly as air with legs so slender they're almost invisible.  Can you imagine the footprint that a butterfly would make?  Look at how tiny the feet are.  Would they even leave a mark?

But catch a glimpse of one of these brown hairy babies and I freak out!

Oooo -  so ug - ug - ugly!  Just looking at it gives me the shivers!  Git outta my kitchen...you brown hairy ugly thing!
