n MOTH or butterfly may lose a wing
N and suffer little or no incon-
venience; 1t still can fly about to
some extent. But let It lose one OF the
antennae, or "feelers" and 1T will soon
die The reason for this is that the
butterfly can see but for a short distance,
and SO its feelers are Of much more import
ance TO 1t than its eyes. While we are
protected mainly through our sight, the
butterfly or moth Is guided and protected
by its sense OF touch. and SO the loss OF
its feclers is more serious than the loss
OF sight would be to us. 1t cannot find
food, and so it dies.

any sound. 1t is this peculiar sound which
1t makes. as we'll as the resemblance TO a
skull and cross bones marked upon its
head, which makes superstitiOus people
afraid OF 1t. for they believe that Il brings
them trouble. The moth, though forbid
dlng in appearance, is entirely harmless
