Butterflies are insects that have large, often brightly coloured wings, and a conspicuous, fluttering flight.

- These migrations take place over a number of generations and no single individual completes the whole trip.
- Many butterflies, such as the painted lady, monarch, and several danaine migrate for long distances.
- It is not clear how it dispersed; adults may have been blown by the wind or larvae or pupae may have been accidentally transported by humans, but the presence of suitable host plants in their new environment was a necessity for their successful establishment.
- The monarch butterfly is native to the Americas, but in the nineteenth century or before, spread across the world, and is now found in Australia, New Zealand, other parts of Oceania, and the Iberian Peninsula.
- Of these, 775 are Nearctic; 7,700 Neotropical; 1,575 Palearctic; 3,650 Afrotropical; and 4,800 are distributed across the combined Oriental and Australian/Oceania regions.

- Butterflies are distributed worldwide except Antarctica, totalling some 18,500 species.
- Most butterflies have the ZW sex-determination system where females are the heterogametic sex (ZW) and males homogametic (ZZ).

- Many butterflies are sexually dimorphic.
- The pupa or chrysalis, unlike that of moths, is not wrapped in a cocoon.
- Many are well camouflaged; others are aposematic with bright colours and bristly projections containing toxic chemicals obtained from their food plants.
- the three pairs of true legs on the thorax have five segments each.
- They have cylindrical bodies, with ten segments to the abdomen, generally with short prolegs on segments 3–6 and 10;
- Butterfly larvae, caterpillars, have a hard (sclerotised) head with strong mandibles used for cutting their food, most often leaves.
- Some day-flying moths, such as the hummingbird hawk-moth, are exceptions to these rules.
- unlike the majority of moths which fly by night, are often cryptically coloured (well camouflaged), and either hold their wings flat (touching the surface on which the moth is standing) or fold them closely over their bodies.
- Nearly all butterflies are diurnal, have relatively bright colours, and hold their wings vertically above their bodies when at rest,

- The long proboscis can be coiled when not in use for sipping nectar from flowers.

- In most families of butterfly the antennae are clubbed, unlike those of moths which may be threadlike or feathery.

- The thorax is composed of three segments, each with a pair of legs.
- As in all insects, the body is divided into three sections: the head, thorax, and abdomen.

- but many of the blues, greens, reds and iridescent colours are created by structural coloration produced by the micro-structures of the scales and hairs.

- These scales give butterfly wings their colour: they are pigmented with melanins that give them blacks and browns, as well as uric acid derivatives and flavones that give them yellows,
- which give the Lepidoptera their name (Ancient Greek λεπίς lepís, scale + πτερόν pterón, wing).
- Butterfly adults are characterized by their four scale-covered wings,
- Riodinidae:Metalmarks;Often have metallic spots on wings; often conspicuously coloured with black, orange and blue.
- Lenny is heading to Devconnect and @lens/ethglobal İstanbul
- Pieridae:Whites and allies;Mostly white, yellow or orange; some serious pests of Brassica; pupa supported by silk girdle.
- Papilionidae:Swallowtails;Often have 'tails' on wings; caterpillar generates foul taste with osmeterium organ; pupa supported by silk girdle.
- Nymphalidae:Brush-footed or four-footed butterflies;Usually have reduced forelegs, so appear four-legged; often brightly coloured.
- Nymphalidae:Brush-footed or four-footed butterflies;Usually have reduced forelegs, so appear four-legged; often brightly coloured.
- Lycaenidae:Blues, coppers, hairstreaks;Small, brightly coloured; often have false heads with eyespots and small tails resembling antennae.
- Hesperiidae:Skippers;Small, darting flight; clubs on antennae hooked backwards
- Hedylidae:American moth-butterflies;Small, brown, like geometrid moths; antennae not clubbed; long slim abdomen
- to form a single butterfly group, thereby synonymous with the clade Rhopalocera.
- so they should both be included within Papilionoidea,
- Phylogenetic analysis suggests that the traditional Papilionoidea is paraphyletic with respect to the other two groups,
- Traditionally, butterflies have been divided into the superfamily Papilionoidea excluding the smaller groups of the Hesperiidae (skippers) and the more moth-like Hedylidae of America.
