INTRODUCTION 
Butterflies uiul moths are popular terms applied to a division of the invertebrates of the animal 
kingdom luiown to scientists as T.EPIDOPTERA, or insects-having-Avings-clothed-with-scales. With 
other orders of insects they form the class INSECTA, or animals in which the three sections of 
liead thorax and abdomen arc distinctly indicated. 
Insects are divided into two groups by the structure of their mouth parts, whicli are developed 
lor biting as in the beetles or for sucking as in the moths: these groups are known as the 
i\landibulata and the llauslcllala. Another division is made according to the structure of the wings of 
the perfect insects: thus we have the Lepidopiera or scale-winged, tiie Diptera or two-winged (flies), the 
IIpmcHoplera or inembrano-winged (bees, wasps an<l ants), the Coleoptcra or sliealh-winged (beetles)? 
the Orthoptera or straight-winged (grasshoppers), the Neiiroptera or nerve-winged (dragonflies), and the 
llemiptera or half-winged (plant bugs). 
Though far from being the lowest of the Orders of the Insecta, the Lepidoptera has not reached 
that stage of development manifested by the Hymenoptera in the care and attention devoted to the 
offspring.
