Butterflies are part of the class of insects in theorderLepidoptera, along with the moths. Adult butterflies havelarge,often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, flutteringflight.The group comprises the large superfamily Papilionoidea,along withtwo smaller groups, the skippers (superfamilyHesperioidea) and themoth-butterflies (superfamily Hedyloidea).Butterfly fossils dateto the Palaeocene, about 56 million yearsago.

Butterflies have the typical four-stage insect life cycle.Wingedadults lay eggs on the food plant on which their larvae,known ascaterpillars, will feed. The caterpillars grow, sometimesveryrapidly, and when fully developed pupate in a chrysalis.Whenmetamorphosis is complete, the pupal skin splits, the adultinsectclimbs out and, after its wings have expanded and dried, itfliesoff. Some butterflies, especially in the tropics, haveseveralgenerations in a year, while others have a singlegeneration, and afew in cold locations may take several years topass through theirwhole life cycle.
