蝶与蛾的区别（The difference between a butterfly and a moth）Butterfly (Butterfly)A species of insects. Butterfly and moth and are classified as Lepidoptera hesperiidae. Today, there are thousands of species in the world. They play with from the Cretaceous flowering plants as food and evolution, and pollination of. They are the last species in the evolution of insects.Lepidoptera Rhopalocera butterflies, common name. Hu Die, too". Any of several old orders for butterflies, now thought of as a butterfly.Butterfly, commonly known as "Butterfly", there are about 14000 species worldwide, mostly in the Americas, particularly in the Amazon most varieties in the world orange tip butterfly (Anthocharis cardamines) in addition to other regions outside the polar cold zone, are distributed in Asia, Taiwan is also in a variety of famous butterfly. Butterflies are brightly colored, with a variety of wings and bodies, with a pair of rods or hammers at the head. The largest butterfly wings up to 24 cm, the smallest of only 1.6 centimeters. Large butterflies are very attractive, with special collections of butterfly specimens. In the Americas, butterfly watching is an activity that attracts many people as well as "bird watching". There are many species of butterflies are the main pests of agriculture and fruit.Papilionoidae (Papilionoidea). 14000 species of 4 families. And moths and constitute Lepidoptera Hesperiidae (Lepidoptera). Almost all over the world.The point similar to that of a moth is that it is covered with a touch of falling dust like scales on the wing, body, and foot. Unlike the moth, the butterfly is active during the day, brightly colored or sharp. The most striking difference between the two is probably that the antennae of the butterfly are rod-shaped and that the folding of the wings is perpendicular to the back at rest. The life cycle of the Lepidoptera is divided into 4 stages: eggs, larvae (caterpillars), pupae and adults. The larvae and adults of most butterflies feed on plants and usually eat only certain parts of a particular plant.The 4 section is the butterfly: Pieridae (Pieridae), such as white or yellow butterfly butterfly, to the famous cluster migration; papiliondae (Papilionidae), such as butterflies and silk butterfly (Parnassius sometimes painted parnassiidae sheets or Parnassiidae); Lycaenidae (Lycaenidae), including blue butterfly, copper color butterfly, butterfly, butterfly and Yan ash (Corbicula butterfly Corbicula butterfly found in tropical America, sometimes classified as Riodinidae or Riodinidae); Nymphalidae (Nymphalidae), the brush foot butterfly. It is one of the largest and most diverse families, and some experts have subdivided it into several families. The brush includes many common butterflies, such as Admiral butterfly, butterfly, Wang Die, butterfly and red butterfly.Butterfly species in ChinaThere are many kinds of butterflies in China, especially in subtropical areas. Common subjects are:Undergraduate: Papilionidae butterfly genus of medium to large beautiful butterflies.

Larvae are commonly known as caterpillars, mostly agricultural pests.Most of the night flying insects, about 150000 kinds, and the butterfly, composed of Lepidoptera Hesperiidae (Lepidoptera).Body size disparity, wingspan from about 4 mm to nearly 30 centimeters (0.16 inches to 1 feet). Adaptability, except the poles, is everywhere. Wings, bodies and feet are covered with a touch of falling powder scales. Compared to butterflies, the moth is stronger than the butterfly, and its color is dark. Moths have pinnate or thick antennae. Endless wings like a tent fold Noctuidae (Noctuidae) eye stack on the wing of armyworm covered the body or cover the body, or extend to two sides, and the butterfly folding and back vertical fin.Life cycle is similar to other species of Lepidoptera, which is divided into 4 stages, namely eggs, larvae, pupae and adults. Most species of larvae and adults eat plants and their juices, and some take nectar and blood. In particular, larvae destroy most ornamental trees and shrubs, and even many important economic plants. Among moth larvae, worm, bollworm and measuring are the most harmful. Some moths (especially hapsifera Tinidae clothing cashmere fur, silk and feather eating).The more famous moths of the family include: Gelechiidae(Gelechiidae), harm of cotton and maize, tomatoes and other crops belong to the bollworm department; Tortricidae (Tortricidae), strenuana is forest pests; Lymantriidae (Lymantriidae), including the moth Lymantria dispar and forest pests; (Arctiidae) the arctiidae moth there are many colorful tropical species; small Tortricidae (Olethreutidae) includes several kinds of harmful,Such as apple and pear borer moth; Noctuidae (Noctuidae), including the armyworm, Lepidoptera (21000 species) is the largest family Saturniidae; (Saturniidae), which includes the largest big silkworm moth; Geometridae (Geometridae) including the geometrid moth, chicken, wave moth and carpet moth.There are more species of moths than butterflies. In fact, butterflies should be considered a specialized species. Most of these insects are moths.A hawkmoth or beak is often cited as a hummingbird hawkmoth...... (there are no hummingbirds in China)。
