“Linguistically, English is an outlier in differentiating between moths and butterflies. In French, there are butterflies (papillons) and night-butterflies (papillons de nuit). German (Tagfalter and Nachtfalter) and Dutch (vlinder and nachtvlinder) adopt similar approaches.”
― James Lowen, Much Ado About Mothing: A year intoxicated by Britain’s rare and remarkable moths

“ignorance is the field, on which the quackery of a political impostor ever reaps its most abundant harvest.”
― Charles Bridges, Proverbs
