Look at these beautiful moths! 
I prefer moths over butterflies.  There is a delicate subtle beauty to them, like they belong more in nature than butterflies do...  I think I feel that way because their colors are more nature colored and their habits seem more reasonable for nature -- quite unlike butterflies with their daytime gallivanting, irreverently flashing around their unnatural hues!

Moths also beat out butterflies in the cuddle-factor department.  Their modified scales give them a cute furry apperance... just look at them!  They're almost like flying hamsters!  Last I checked, hamsters are generally more cuddly than arthropods (which I love too!  Just not for cuddling.)
 
Flying hamsters, how silly.
