Moths' antennae are saw-edged or feathery. On the other hand, a butterfly's antennae tend to be club-shaped. They consist of long tubes with a small bulb on the end. The antennae of both moths and butterflies vary in length and width. Moths tend to be nocturnal, meaning they are usually out at night. Butterflies, on the other hand, are typically diurnal, meaning they are usually out during the day.  For instance, you may see moths fluttering around your porch light at night. There are a few exceptions to this rule. For instance, the Buck Moth flies during the day. Butterflies tend to hold their wings upright when they land, perpendicular or at an angle to the ground. Moths, on the other hand, tend to hold them down against their bodies, parallel to the ground. Moths are typically smaller overall than butterflies. Similarly, their colors aren't as bright as butterflies, who tend to have very bright colors. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as the Madagascan sunset moth, which is brightly colored.  The wing colors of moths and butterflies serve several purposes. The colors help them identify the right mate, and the wings of certain brightly colored butterflies, such as Monarch Butterflies, tell predators that they aren't tasty. Plus, the colors of both moths and butterflies can help them camouflage themselves with their surroundings. The bodies of butterflies tend to be long and slender with smooth, sleek bodies. Moths have shorter, wider bodies with a soft, fur-like coating. Both moths and butterflies go through a pupa stage where they cover themselves up while they are developing. However, moths' cocoons have a silky covering, while butterflies' chrysalises do not. Also, chrysalises are hard while cocoons are not.

You should remove any blood or dirt with rubbing alcohol or a cleanser like Phisoderm. Put the cleanser on a clean cotton ball and swab it across the area around the wound. If your skin has any moisture in it, the adhesive might not work properly. Pat the area dry with a dry, clean towel or cloth. It's important that your wound be completely clean before you cover it with steri strips. Otherwise, you may develop an infection under the steri strips that can continue to worsen. See your doctor if your wound is deep or hard to clean so that it will heal correctly.

Visit a sporting goods store where you can be fitted for the right sized backpack by a professional.  Be sure the backpack has two wide, supportive shoulder straps, and sufficient back and strap padding. Adjust the straps so that the backpack lays flat against your back. Both straps should be worn at the same time, to distribute the weight of the pack evenly. Chest and waist straps are available for additional support, if needed. Consider good materials and construction. A high-quality backpack can go a long way towards fit and comfort throughout the day. Higher quality also means longer lasting backpacks. Invest in features like breathable or ultralight fabric. Some packs have waterproof or water-resistant materials to protect against rain. These materials will help lessen the weight of your pack in the long-run. Features like handles and rolling wheels are common, but they may add on extra weight. Remove anything outdated, any trash, and anything else that isn’t a part of your routine. Cleaning and organizing your backpack is one of the easiest things you can do to lighten your pack that will show you immediate results. Be sure to ask your teacher if electronics are allowed in the classroom. Consider which textbooks could be swapped out for e-books. Electronic notes and planners are also options, and will save space in your backpack. Consider carrying travel-sized items or condensing a bulky makeup bag down to just the basics. Bring only one or two back-up pencils, pens, and highlighters, instead of a large bag of writing supplies. Use your locker if you have one! If you don’t, consider if you have any alternatives, such as a personal gym locker or your car, if you drive to school. Review your schedule, and store heavy textbooks or binders in your locker when they’re not needed. Stop by your locker between classes or as often as possible.

No device should be left on if you're fiddling with it.  Turn off any and all electrical power to the pump and system at the breaker panel. You can also go to the base of the pump to make sure it's turned off. On a pool pump, this will be the strainer basket. If you're not working with a pool pump, use whatever fixture is closest to the water tank. Check all piping and fittings for any cracks,, or damage, especially if system was shut down over the winter. Check each drain plug to see if it needs re-tightening, and manually operate any valves. Ensure that all nuts, bolts and anchoring fasteners of the pumping system are in place and tightened properly. You should also inspect any safety guards, belts and pulleys that there might be. Flush the hose to remove any build-up and ensure you have clean water. Run water through it, keeping a constant stream for a few seconds before you shut it off. This is especially important for hoses that aren't routinely used or haven't been used yet this season. Many people choose to use their garden hose or their washing machine hose connected to their garden hose. However, if your garden hose contains lead, know that you shouldn't drink from it. If you're using this for a well, be sure you have a way of filtering the water before and after it's through the hose. This will keep pressure from building up. Watch your water pressure gauge to make sure all is going according to plan.
