When talking about metamorphosis, it is this one animal that will first appear in our minds. Yes, Butterflies are animals with perfect metamorphosis.

Starting from a caterpillar that is much hated by humans because of its shape and also classified as pests, then it turns into a beautiful winged insect and helps many plants in the pollination process.

But make no mistake, because there are also animals that have the same shape as butterflies, namely moths.

Butterflies are the adult flying stage of certain insects belonging to an order or group called Lepidoptera. Moths also belong to this group. The word "Lepidoptera" means "scaly wings" in Greek. This name perfectly suits the insects in this group because their wings are covered with thousands of tiny scales overlapping in rows. The scales, which are arranged in colorful designs unique to each species, are what gives the butterfly its beauty. All-about-butterflies source

Butterflies and moths are insects belonging to the order Lepidoptera, or 'scales winged insects'.

Butterflies and moths have many things in common, mainly scales that cover their bodies and wings. These scales are actually modified hairs. Butterflies and moths belong to the order Lepidoptera (from the Greek lepis meaning scale and pteron meaning wing). Butterfly source

Simply put, butterflies are distinguished from moths based on their active time and physical characteristics.

Butterflies are generally active during the day (diurnal), while most types of moths are active at night (nocturnal). Butterflies rest or perch by straightening their wings, moths perch by stretching their wings.

Butterflies usually have a brilliantly beautiful colour, moths tend to be dark, dull or grey. However, these differences always have exceptions, so that they cannot scientifically serve as a definite grip

In addition, butterflies are one of the few types of insects that are not harmful to humans. Many believe that butterflies have a very short life.

Actually, adult butterflies can live for a week or almost a year depending on each species.

Most species go through a long level of larvae, and some are able to become dormant when at the level of a pupa or egg to wade through the winter.
