'Dully' is an adverb - the unknown meets the unknown in a dully way. It's a good word aurally, but I admit it looks a bit peculiar on paper.(or screen). Also I know what you mean about moths, but I liked the implied fragility of the butterfly wing that for me the moth doesn't have. What an abstruse distinction to have to make. And we have some very mottled and drab butterflies in England.
