...It is said that when at rest, butterflies fold their wings behind their backs, while moths keep them open, but there are many different types of species that are called moths, and the distinction between them is very vague. In Japanese and English, different words are used for daytime flying things, such as butterfly, and nocturnal things, such as moths. In German, there is a word Falter (or Schmetterlinge) that combines the two, and butterflies are called Tagfalter (day butterflies) and moths are called Nachtfalter (night butterflies). In French, papillon refers to butterflies, and papillon de nuit means moth, just like in German. *Some of the terminology that mentions "papillon de nuit" is listed below.

…静止するときは,チョウは翅を背面にたたむが,ガは広げたままであるなどといわれているが,ガと呼ばれているものの中にいろいろなタイプの種がいて,これらの区別はたいへんあいまいである。昼間飛ぶのがチョウbutterfly,夜活動するのがガmothと,違ったことばを使っているのは日本語や英語だが,ドイツ語では両者をいっしょにしたFalter(あるいはSchmetterlinge)という単語があり,チョウはTagfalter(昼のチョウ),ガはNachtfalter(夜のチョウ)と呼ぶし,フランス語ではpapillonといえばチョウを指し,papillon de nuitとすれば,ドイツ語と同じようにガの意味になる。 ※「papillon de nuit」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
