A butterfly is an insect of the order Lepidoptera. Like all Lepidoptera,
butterflies are notable for their unusual life cycle with a larval
caterpillar stage, an inactive pupal stage, and a spectacular metamorphosis
into a familiar and colourful winged adult form. Most species are
day-flying so they regularly attract attention. The diverse patterns
formed by their brightly coloured wings and their erratic yet graceful
flight have made butterfly watching a fairly popular hobby.
Butterflies comprise the true butterflies (superfamily Papilionoidea),
the skippers (Superfamily Hesperioidea) and the moth-butterflies (Superfamily
Hedyloidea). Butterflies exhibit polymorphism, mimicry and aposematism.
Some are known to migrate over large distances. Some butterflies have
evolved symbiotic and parasitic relationships with social insects
such as ants. Butterflies are important economically as one of the
major agents of pollination. In addition, a number of species are
pests, because they can damage domestic crops and trees.
Culturally, butterflies are a popular motif in the visual and literary
arts and can also flap their wings faster than humans can blink their
eyes.
