Which of the following is an important distinguishing feature of butterfly and not moth?
1)Stout body, noctural
2) Wings are not filded in sitting position
3) Antennae are long with globose end, and diurnal
4) Antennae are short, with tepering ends and feathery and nocturnal

Options

A. Stout body, noctural
B. Wings are not filded in sitting position
C. Antennae are long with globose end, and diurnal
D. Antennae are short, with tepering ends and feathery and nocturnal

Explanation

To solve the question about distinguishing features of butterflies compared to moths, we will analyze the options provided one by one.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the Context**:
- Both butterflies and moths belong to the order Lepidoptera within the phylum Arthropoda.
- We need to identify features that are characteristic of butterflies and not found in moths.

2. **Analyzing Option 1**:
- "Stout body, nocturnal":
- Butterflies are typically not nocturnal; they are diurnal (active during the day).
- Moths are generally nocturnal.
- Therefore, this option does not correctly distinguish butterflies from moths.

3. **Analyzing Option 2**:
- "Wings are not folded in sitting position":
- Butterflies fold their wings vertically over their backs when at rest, while moths usually rest with their wings flat or folded over their bodies.
- This statement is incorrect for butterflies, so this option does not distinguish them from moths.

4. **Analyzing Option 3**:
- "Antennae are long with globose end, and diurnal":
- Butterflies have long, slender antennae that are often club-shaped (globose end).
- They are also diurnal, which is a characteristic feature of butterflies.
- This option correctly describes a distinguishing feature of butterflies.

5. **Analyzing Option 4**:
- "Antennae are short, with tapering ends and feathery and nocturnal":
- This description fits moths, which have shorter, feathery antennae and are typically nocturnal.
- Therefore, this option does not describe butterflies.

### Conclusion:
The correct answer is **Option 3**: "Antennae are long with globose end, and diurnal," as this feature is characteristic of butterflies and not moths.
