Of Moths and Butterflies

What's the difference between moths and butterflies?

---

People don't talk like that, much less two men, much much less two 19th century men. On the other hand, there are passages such as the build-up and act of a minor character's suicide that successfully conveys the character's despair. But then her death is followed with paraphrasing "so then they buried her and her son was sad". And there's a budding love sub-plot that threatened to pique my interest completely at Imogen's expense. But the apparently reluctant lovebirds leave the novel and we unfortunately cannot follow them. Which brings me to my final point: She treats her themes pretty much in the same way; the characters and events barely tie-in with one another.

One character outright vanishes when we last hear of him resting in a room upstairs. It's like a one year-old child's reality: This is the 3rd book i've read by this author.

Butterflies and Moths of North America

I liked all three in varying degrees. This one though is my least favourite. Like the other two, this one is long, but here i really felt it dragging ever so slowly, especially at the abbey. Not so much excitement there, or thrills. It was as if all Imogene did was work or rest, or watch out the window. Archer was somewhere around the house or leaving her behind.

Still, i liked the book enough though i did have to put it down several times for a period. It is just a sad book really. To think that three women four perhaps depending on how Bess Mason saw her experience in this story went through the same cruel treatment in the hands of men. It was just a bit too much. A good thing the author can write the way she does, telling the story without giving horrid details. It would have been too hard to bear otherwise. As it is, i could imagine how such things really could happen in those times they still do nowadays in fact , and how helpless a woman must be then.

The villains are well, villainous and it is not difficult to comprehend what drove them, greed after all, listens to no reasons. But i would have liked to know what became of them afterwards at least those who didn't just "die" conveniently to pave the way for a semblance of a happy relationship for our protagonists. I also found it somewhat irritating how Imogene was alternately referred to as Gina, especially by Archer himself. She loathes the name, and sometimes she makes an effort to correct it, but she does not make it clear.

It was just annoying. I thought Archer was weak and spineless. Without the counsel of Roger and Claire, he was otherwise totally pathetic, never able to make a sound decision on how to command his own life. I hate the thought of having to depend on a man as he.

But all is well that ends well of course. The secrets too many that were kept so long hidden, when finally revealed, made way for better understanding. So why not reveal them earlier on? I just thought the book could really have been made shorter. It became tedious reading about how Imogene and Archer kept taking one step forward in there relationship only to take two steps back, just because both were hindered by those secrets.

Both struck me as very unhappy persons, and i wondered if their life together will have much laughter at all, unlike their cousins Claire and Roger. I really liked them both. I wish the author would put their story in a book. I think it will be a much cheerful reading than this, despite Claire's past experience similar to that of Imogene's. All in all, i can't say i hate the book. I like the author's style of writing, and again this book, despite it's story, is without graphic or explicit sexual content. How she wrote the love scene towards the end is just how i prefer it, clean and sweet and affords the reader the use of one's imagination.

I ordered this as a free book from bookbub. The plot is weak, the characters weaker, and the whole thing waste of time. Do yourself a favor and don't suffer through a predictable story with a predictable ending.

They did a few right things for the wrong reasons and a lot of wrong things for the wrong reasons. To me there was nothing redeeming about this book and I am sorry I wasted my time. I skipped to the end to find out how it ended and found a sex scene. It was mild but still not what I want in a book. See all reviews.

Both go through their metamorphosis in a chrysalis , or protective shell.

Moths, however, often spin a silk cocoon around their chrysalis, sometimes camouflaging it with leaves or debris. These differences make it simple to decide whether an insect is a butterfly or a moth. The Fellowship of the Ring" is a moth. It shows up at night, and it has a wide body, dull colors and feathery antennae. But not every member of the order Lepidoptera fits neatly into the categories of butterfly and moth.

Like butterflies, skippers fly during the day, but like moths, they tend to have duller coloring. But in one way, skippers aren't like butterflies or moths. Skippers hold their wings at an angle all their own, with the forewings separate from the hindwings. What's the difference between moths and butterflies? The Difference Between Moths and Butterflies. The main differences between butterflies and moths have to do with how they look and how they act. Most butterflies pupate as a naked chrysalis.

Many moths spin silken cocoons to pupate.

Butterflies' antennae are wider at the tips -- their ends look like little clubs. Moths' antennae are often feathery. Sometimes, they're thin like butterflies' antennae, but without the clubs.
