Home›Insects›Butterflies And Moths (Lepidoptera)GroupButterflies And Moths (Lepidoptera)This group gathers Insects subcategory members belonging to the order Lepidoptera, the butterflies and moths, defined by wings covered in tiny overlapping scales that produce their characteristic color and pattern, and by a coiled, straw-like proboscis most adult members use to drink nectar. It spans the day-flying butterflies, among them the monarch, famous for its multi-generational migration across North America, the swallowtails, and the brightly patterned admirals and checkerspots, and the far more numerous moths, mostly nocturnal and often camouflaged at rest, ranging from the enormous silk moths such as the luna and atlas moths to agricultural pests such as the gypsy moth and codling moth. Nearly every member undergoes complete metamorphosis, passing through a caterpillar larval stage and a pupal or chrysalis stage before emerging as a winged adult.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonTaxonomic Rank OrderWell-attested5 1Reproductive ModeWell-attestedOviparous (Egg-Laying) 2Browse ByAll Butterflies And Moths (Lepidoptera)Butterflies And Moths (Lepidoptera)55 entriesButterflies And Moths (Lepidoptera)Filter Results101 entriesCommon GroupAllButterflies And Moths (Lepidoptera) (55)Everyday GroupAllButterflies And Moths (Lepidoptera) (55)HabitatAllAlpine (1)Bog (3)Boreal Forest (2)Chaparral (7)Desert (4)Fen (1)Grassland (8)Riparian Zone (4)Savanna (6)Temperate Forest (6)Tropical Rainforest (2)Tundra (2)Wetlands (5)Xeric Shrubland (1)Where It LivesAllAfrica (2)Albania (8)Algeria (1)Andorra (7)Angola (1)Argentina (1)Asia (2)Australia (7)Austria (7)Bahrain (1)Belarus (6)Belgium (26)Benin (1)Bhutan (1)Bolivia (2)Bosnia and Herzegovina (6)Brazil (7)Bulgaria (7)Burkina Faso (1)Cameroon (1)Canada (16)Chile (2)China (2)Colombia (4)Croatia (7)Cuba (2)Cyprus (9)Czechia (7)Democratic Republic of the Congo (1)Denmark (21)Ecuador (2)Estonia (6)Europe (27)Finland (7)France (13)Gambia (1)Germany (7)Ghana (2)Greece (10)Guatemala (1)Guinea (1)Guinea-Bissau (1)Guyana (1)Hungary (7)Iceland (2)India (3)Iran (4)Iraq (2)Ireland (9)Israel (1)Italy (8)Jamaica (1)Japan (11)Jordan (1)Kazakhstan (2)Latvia (6)Liberia (1)Liechtenstein (6)Lithuania (5)Luxembourg (5)Madagascar (1)Malaysia (1)Malta (3)Mexico (4)Moldova (7)Mongolia (1)Montenegro (5)Nepal (1)Netherlands (5)Nigeria (2)North Africa (3)North America (21)North Macedonia (6)Norway (16)Oman (1)Peru (1)Poland (4)Portugal (8)Republic of the Congo (1)Romania (2)Russia (8)Saudi Arabia (1)Senegal (1)Serbia (2)Siberia (1)Sierra Leone (1)Slovakia (3)Slovenia (2)South Africa (2)Spain (10)Sri Lanka (2)Sudan (2)Sweden (14)Switzerland (8)Texas (2)Turkey (3)Ukraine (2)United Kingdom (9)United States (21)Venezuela (2)Showing the 100 most common of 126 options.Conservation StatusAllEndangered (1)Extinct (1)Least Concern (6)Not Evaluated (39)DietAllFrugivore (2)Herbivore (41)Insectivore (1)Parasitic (1)System (Realm)AllMarine (1)Terrestrial (41)Terrestrial and Freshwater (1)Living or ExtinctAllYes (55)ThreatsAllInvasive and Other Problematic Species, Genes and Diseases (1)Relationship to PeopleAllAgricultural or Structural Pest (13)Domesticated (2)Ecotourism and Research (3)Farmed or Commercially Raised (1)Hunted or Fished (1)Invasive or Introduced Species (3)Kept as Pets (1)No Significant Interaction with Humans (1)Pollinator (7)CITES AppendixAllAppendix II (1)Not Listed (47)NatureServe RankAllG4 Apparently Secure (3)G5 Secure (17)GNR Unranked (2)EcosystemAllBorneo Rainforest (1)Cerrado (1)Moorland (1)TaxonomyAllCrambidae (1)Danaus (1)Erebidae (4)Euphydryas (1)Geometridae (9)Heliconius (1)Lepidoptera (7)Lycaenidae (1)Noctuidae (4)Nymphalidae (3)Papilionidae (5)Pieridae (4)Pyralidae (1)Saturniidae (5)Sphingidae (6)Tortricidae (1)Zygaenidae (1)Show ResultsZygaena FaustaInsects2 linksShowing 101 to 101 of 101, page 3 of 3.← Previous123Sources1.
