Butterflies are insects that can fly from the 'Lepidoptera' order (the order of insects with wide wings that have overlapping scales). In Greek, 'Lepidoptera' means 'wing of scale'. This order belongs to the super-Hesperiidae family 'or' Skippers 'as it is commonly called' Skippers are different from butterflies in that they have thicker bodies, better eyes, strong wing muscles and love to re-antenna.
Butterflies are called 'Papilionidae'. The typical butterfly has a slim body, an antenna with a small ball at the end, six feet and four broad, wings that have multiple color combinations. Butterflies are distributed worldwide except in very cold and dry (dry) areas. There are about 17,500 species of butterflies (Papilionidae) of about 180,000 species of Lepidoptera.

Many butterflies have striking colors and patterns on their wings. Butterfly wings are actually transparent - it is too licking scales that give the color wings we see. These scales are pigmented with melanins that give them black and brown skin, but blue, green, red and color games are usually made not by pigments but micro scales.
