1. Spotted butterflies
Insects of the Lepidoptera family Danaidae are sometimes referred to as brush-footed butterflies of the Nymphalidae subfamily Danainae. Famous people such as the monarch butterfly and the post-butterfly. It is more native to the tropics, but there are also some important species in temperate zones. Large, gorgeous.
Description: The forefoot is small and not used for action. Flight is slow, and some species (such as monarch butterflies) can migrate over long distances. Some males have hindwings with sachets. The larvae have bright bands or stripes, with 2 to 4 pairs of fleshy protrusions; mainly feed on marigold plants, and sometimes eat nightshade plants; because of eating these spicy, milky plants, larvae, pupae, adult worms have an unpleasant odor, coupled with bright colors, so there is no natural enemy. Other butterflies also have what appears to be spotted (mimetic) and protected. The pupa is smooth , often with golden markings , and hangs upside down under the buttock spines at the posterior end of the body.
Morphological characteristics: the wing surface is dark brown, and the markings are light cyan translucent. The outer margin and sub-outer margin of the forewing each have 1 row of markings, of which the sub-outer margin is not neat. There are 1 rod-like stripes in the middle chamber, 1 slush-shaped stripe on the middle ventricle end, 5 rod-like stripes outside the middle ventricle end, and 3 white spots below the middle ventricle end. There are 2 stripes under the middle chamber, 1 row of irregular markings on the outer edge and sub-outer edge of the hindwing, 2 basal markings in the middle chamber, 1 small spot on the inner side of the end below it, 4 large spots outside the middle ventricle and 2 small spots connected by the base, and 5 stripes emitted by the wing base under the middle ventricle, of which 4 near the middle chamber are connected by double and double basal parts. In the middle of the male butterfly's membranium, there is an ear-shaped incense scale bag.
The spread wings are 80 to 100 mm wide. This species is the largest of the blue-spotted butterflies. The upper wings are black-brown on both sides, and the lower wings are brown with large cyan stripes. The difference between male and female is less pronounced, but there are deeper markings near the horns of the lower wings of male butterflies.
Living environment: tropical semi-deciduous monsoon forest, tropical evergreen monsoon forest, tropical mountain rainforest.
Ecological habits: In addition to winter, adult insects have a large population in the northern mountains in May and June. Happy visiting flowers.

Butterfly (Pieridae is known to have more than 1200 species, divided into 3 subfamily, widely distributed. There are about 130 species in China. The body type is usually medium or small, and the largest species has a wingspan of up to 90 mm. The color is mild, generally white, yellow and orange, and often has black or red markings. The forewings are triangular , the hindwings are ovate , and there is no caudal process. The forefoots develop normally, with bifurcated claws. Many species are sexually type-II. Males have scented scales in different genera at different sites: the base of the forewing elbow vein, the base angle of the hindwing, the base of the middle ventricle, or the end of the abdomen. Some species have seasonal types. Ovoid shell or pagoda shape, long and upright. The larvae are cylindrical, slender, and have wrinkle rings at each section of the thorax and abdomen. Pupae are pupae. The hosts are cruciferous, leguminous, cauliflower, rosaceae, etc., and some are vegetable or fruit tree pests.
Life Characteristics: There are nearly a thousand species in the world, it is a medium-sized butterfly, smaller than the butterfly (Butterfly family).
It is often based on white and yellow, decorated with black, red, yellow and other color markings, the forewing is triangular, the hindwings are oval, and the surface of most species of wings is powdered. Pigments from the waste of the body, which make up their distinctive hue, are endemic to butterflies in the family Pink Butterfly family.
Adults of the Pink Butterfly family have a midriff between the two claws of the forefoot, so they are able to stay on the surface of smooth vertical objects such as erect glass.
The anterior and posterior wings are approximately oval in shape; the middle chambers of both wings are closed. Forewing R veins 3 to 5 branches, R2 and R3 of most species of forewings are often merged, and R4 and R5 of some species are also merged; M1 and R veins are co-stalked; and A veins have only 1 (2A). The hindwings have shoulder transverse veins (h); the outer margins of the two wings are blunt and rounded; the abdomen is not visible on the sides when stationary; the inner margin of the hindwings is more developed, and there are two A veins (2A and 3A) [1].
Range: There are about 1241 species of butterflies in the family Pink Butterfly, found on all continents except Antarctica, mainly in central Africa and Asia. China has
There are 129 species, all over the mountains and plains of China's provinces, but the dominant species in the north and south are different, and the algebra of the same species is also different.
Life Habits: Small to medium-sized butterfly species in the genus Phylum. Butterflies in the family Pinkidae are common in gardens and are notorious pests.
Many species are of type II, but there are also seasonal types. Adults are nutritionally supplemented, preferring to suck nectar or in wet areas and on shallow beaches. Most species pupate overwinter, and a few overwinter with adults. Some species prefer to inhabit groups.
The host plants are mainly cruciferous, leguminous, white cauliflower, rosaceae, and some are important pests of vegetables or fruit trees.
Classification: Subfamily Yellow-pink butterfly - There are 14 genera, most of which are sex heterotypic, and there are also patterns on the wings that can only be seen through ultraviolet light, such as species of the genus Bean Powder Butterfly.
Subfamily Cyperaceae – There are 6 genera, mainly distributed in the neotropics, and the legume family is its host plant.
Subfamily Blue-pink butterfly – Monotyped taxonomy, Pseudopontia paradoxa, distributed in West Africa.
Butterfly subfamily – There are 55 genera, the mountain citrus family, the cruciferous family, the sandalwood family, and the mulberry parasitic family are its host plants.

3. Butterflies
Butterflies are a collective term for butterflies of the Order Lepidoptera (Papilionidae) and are generally large insects. The posterior wing is named for its caudal process, but there are many species without caudates. It is often based on black, yellow and white, decorated with red, blue, green, yellow and other colors of the stripe, some species have a brilliant blue, green, yellow and other metallic luster. The butterfly is gracefully shaped , with many species of hindwings having slender tail protrusions. Some species are pests; There are more than 850 species in the world, and there are about 100 species in China.
Morphological characteristics: Most of the butterflies are large and less medium-sized. The color is bright, the background color is black, yellow, or white, and there are blue, green, red and other colors. Beak developed. The anterior and posterior wings are triangular, with 5 forewing diameter veins, 2 gluteal veins, and 1 gluteal transverse vein; hindwing
There is 1 gluteal vein, 1 hook-shaped shoulder vein is born on the sub-margin chamber, Sc and R veins form a small chamber at the base, most species M3 often extend into a caudal process, and some species have more than 2 or no caudal process. There is a pronounced sexual type II phenomenon in the genus Papilio and the genus Chilasa. In addition, some species have seasonal and multi-type phenomena.
The eggs are nearly spherical and prolific on host plants.
Morphology of the last instar larvae of the citrus butterfly
The larvae have red or yellow stink glands in the center of the anterior hortoral margin.
Pupae are pupae.
Life Habits: Butterflies are completely metamorphosed, ovoid and scattered on the leaves.
The larvae are plant-feeding, and many species of larvae feed on leaves such as citrus and camphor. Good at flying. For all types of odorous glands, odor will be emitted when frightened. Many butterflies will imitate the color or pattern of a butterfly that looks unpalatable to protect themselves.
Growth and reproduction: Papilionidae [1] Generally reproduces 1 to 2 generations per year. In general, the butterfly lays eggs on trees, and it is specially selected to lay eggs on plants such as the family Rubiaceae. It is also a means of protecting young butterflies from having a higher hatching rate.
After a few molts, the butterfly's larvae suddenly change color from black and white to bright green. Changes in the amount of larval hormone in the larvae change the way genes act, which causes the larvae to change color. Butterfly larvae are initially covered in black and white stripes, and their bodies are covered with tumor-like bumps, which they disguise as bird droppings to avoid predators. After the larvae molted for the fourth time, they turned into a bright green that could blend into the surrounding grass and trees, and the bulges on their bodies disappeared. In this process, the concentration of juvenile hormones is the key to discoloration of butterfly larvae. After 4 molts, the larvae of the butterfly appear to resemble a snake's head to avoid predators. When frightened, it will lift up to intimidate the enemy, and two tentacles will protrude from the head, and a strange smell will be emitted accordingly.
Geographical distribution: In addition to the North and South Poles, butterflies are found all over the world. Most species are distributed in the tropics.
Butterflies generally live near plants such as the family Rubiaceae, Lauraceae, Umbellifera, and Aristolochiae.
Main value: The butterfly is not only a beautiful and colorful ornamental insect, but also a resource insect that can be used, and the golden-spotted beaked butterfly is still a unique species in China, and thus has become a first-class protected animal.

Fourth, the ring butterfly
The family Phyllopodidae is a taxonomy of the lepidoptera butterfly. Butterflies in the genus Are medium to large; the color is mostly yellow-brown or gray-brown, most of the colors are dark but not bright, and a few species have blue markings. The ring butterfly has a larger area of both wings, a smaller insect body, and often has circular markings on the ventral surface of the wings, hence the name. According to records, there are about 80 species of ring butterflies in the world, 14 species in China, and 9 species in Guangdong. Butterflies in this family are mostly medium to large butterfly species. It is often based on gray-brown and yellow-brown colors, and is decorated with black and white markings.
Morphological characteristics: The forewings of the ring butterfly have 4 or 5 R veins, and the hindwing A veins have 2. Butterflies are distributed in the area south of the Yellow River, and are most notable in the genus Zebra, Ringed and Arrow-ringed. The biggest feature of the ring butterfly is that there are several pairs of eye stripes on the reverse side of the wing, and the male has incense scales on the hindwings. Most of the butterflies are self-taught in dense forests, grasses, and wet environments, mostly in the morning or dusk. There are 14 known species in China. Representative butterflies include arrow ring butterflies, oblique band ring butterflies and so on.
Range: Asia, Australia, India and South America
Life habits: The insect is in Zhejiang Province once a year. Larvae overwinter in weeds, shrubs, and dead leaves. 3 There are activities in the early and middle of the bamboo hazards until the beginning of June. Pupalization begins in mid-May, pupates peak in late May, and end in early June. Adults begin feathering in early June and end in early August. The egg period is from mid-June to early August. The larval stage begins to overwinter from late June to late November. Adults feather and lay eggs from early June to early August of the following year.
The eggs are laid on the back or back tip of the bamboo leaf and are lumpy. None of the eggs laid on that day had a purple ring, which was pale yellow; after a day, the egg color gradually turned green, and a small number of eggs appeared purple rings. After two days most of the eggs have a purple ring, but not always green in color. The egg stage is 6 to 7 days. The larvae hatch from the top of the purple ring. The hatching larvae feed on the egg shell and then on the bamboo leaves, and the larvae are clustered, neatly arranged in the same direction, and have the habit of spitting and drooping.
Most of the pupae are fixed (suspended) with gluteal spines on the stems of bamboo twigs or leaves, and a small amount is on bamboo poles, and the pupal stage is 19 days.
When the adults are just feathered, next to the pupal shell, they shake their wings and lay flat, and after half an hour, the wings are erected. After a few hours, the adults begin to fly and rest on the leaves of moso bamboo, weeds, etc., grasping the host with their feet, and their wings are hanging upside down. Male adults replenish nutrients on the garbage on the ground, such as animal droppings, distillers, etc., and a dozen or even dozens of them gather together to suck nutrients.

5. Grey butterfly
Grey butterfly gossamer-winged butterfly, an insect of the lepidoptera Lycaenidae family. They are all medium-sized or small butterflies (with a wingspan of 1 to 3 cm), agile and slender. More than 4,500 species have been recorded worldwide, distributed throughout the world; 279 species are known in China.
Grey Butterfly Introduction: The grey butterfly goessamer-winged butterfly is a small type of butterfly with an extremely rich species diversity, accounting for 30%-40% of all butterflies. Except for a few, the distribution of the vast majority of species has a strong regionality, responds sensitively to changes in the surrounding environment, and fluctuations in their species and quantities can indirectly reflect the changes of surrounding plants to a certain extent. Therefore, in the conservation of terrestrial biodiversity, the gray butterfly is used as an important indicator of ecological environment monitoring. Compared with large butterflies, gray butterflies are not well studied in both high and low taxonomic studies, and new species and even new genera are constantly being discovered every year.
Morphological characteristics:
Adult: a group of small (very small), very variable, beautiful butterfly; the front of the wing is often red, orange, blue, green, purple, green, bronze and other colors, the pattern and color on the back of the wing are different, mostly gray, white, ochre, brown and other colors. Hermaphroditic, different on the front but the same on the reverse. Narrow face; compound eyes are close to each other, smooth or hairy, with l-rings of white hairs around them; whiskers are usually thin, forward-extended or slightly lifted; antennae are short, hammer-shaped, with white rings on each segment. The forefoot is degenerate but can still be used for walking; females have 5 tarsal segments and 2 claws; most males have only 1 tarsal segment, only 1 claw, and rarely segments. The middle and hind feet have a tibial pitch, claws, midriffs and side pads. The forewings have only 10 to 11 veins; the R veins are often only 3 to 4 (5 in a few genera); and the A vein is 1, and many species can see that there are 3A veins at the base. The hindwings have no shoulder veins except For Poniinae; there are 2 A veins; sometimes there are 1 to 3 caudal processes. The anterior and posterior wings are ventricularly closed, with fine veins and rarely open. Male butterflies often have fragrant scales on the surface of the forewings. Males have small, complex external genitalia, often with developed hook-like jaw processes. Living in forests, a small number of species are harmful to crops. Love flies in the daylight. The ovoids are hemisphered or oblate; the seminal area is concave and the surface is covered with polygonal carvings. It is scattered on the young shoots of the host plant.
Blue-gray butterfly larvae: slugs. That is, the body is oval and flattened, the edges are thin and the middle is raised; the head is small, shrunk inside the chest; and the feet are short. Body light or fine hairs, or small protrusions. The seventh section of the dorsal plate often has dorsal gland openings, and its secretions are loved by ants and live with ants. Overwinter with eggs or larvae.
Pupa: Mulch. Oval, smooth or covered with fine hairs. Some species pupate in silk nests, which are on plants or on the ground.
Host: The hosts are mostly legumes, shell buckets, mulberry parasitoids, roses, madders, sedum and other plants, but also predatory aphids and mesophores.
There are 5 subfamilies of the Family Pterophoridae: Subfamily Cloud Grey Butterfly, Subfamily Silver Grey Butterfly, Line Grey Butterfly Subfamily, Grey Butterfly Subfamily, and Ocular Grey Butterfly Subfamily.
Cloudy butterfly subfamily Miletinae
Dark and fragile butterfly. Smooth eyes. The antennae are cylindrical, and the rod-like parts gradually enlarge without being noticed. The lower lip must be smooth in the third segment, flattened laterally, and as long as the second segment. The foot is special, the tibia is smooth, the end is spineless and spaced; the first segment of the tarsal segment is very long. The wings are narrow and long, with a dark brown surface, some species have white or white bands on the forewings; 11 forewing veins, Sc, R1, R2 veins are independent, R5 veins terminate at the leading edge, no R3 veins; the hindwings are round, no tail and valves, but some are serrated, the abdomen is longer than the posterior margin of the forewings, and the ventral surface has a subanal brush.
Living in dense forests, the flight power is weak, often on the shrubs, slightly higher than the level of human height, and does not fly for a long time.
The larvae are slug-type and feed on aphids.
The subfamily is found only in southern Asia and in India and Australia [1].
Silver gray butterfly subfamily Curetinae
The forewings are triangular, short and broad, the leading edge is strongly curved, the apical angle and the hip angle are obvious, the outer edge and the posterior edge are straight; the forewing has only 4 R veins, the R5 vein passes to the outer edge near the apical angle, and the M1 vein is separated from it and emerges from the upper angle of the middle chamber. The hindwings are tailless, rounded or pentagonal; the M3 veins and hip angles are prominently protruding; and the Sc+R1 veins are curved in strength. Smooth eyes. The third and fourth ventral surfaces of the antennae are decorated with wool. Whiskers are smooth and hairless underneath. The tibial segment of the middle posterior foot has paired pitches [1].
Line gray butterfly subfamily Thiclane
The forewings have 10 to 11 or 12 veins. If there are only 10 or 11 veins, the R5 vein reaches the leading edge or apex angle, and the R1 vein is independent of the R2 vein. The hindwings have 1 to 3 caudal protrusions, which grow on the M3, Cu1, or Cu2 veins; the gluteal horns are prominent. The anterior and posterior wings of males usually have secondary characteristics of incense scales and erect brushes: the antennae are slightly expanded, but the segments are cylindrical. The tibial segment of the middle posterior foot has a distance in pairs [1].
Gray butterfly subfamily Lycaeninae
The forewings have 11 veins, and the R5 and M1 veins are usually not far apart, sometimes touching or co-stalking. The Cu2 veins of the hindwing have a caudal process or no tail; the hip horns are rounded or flaped. No secondary sexual characteristics. Smooth eyes. The antennae are stick-like and slightly flattened below. It must be covered with hairs or hairy scales. The tarsal segment of the forefoot of the male butterfly heals into 1 segment with a pointed or rounded end [1].
P0lyommatinae, subfamily Ocular grey butterfly
The forewings have 11 veins, R5 veins and M. The veins open from the base and sometimes leave very narrowly. The hindwings are rounded, with no caudal process or only Cu2 veins with l linear slender tail process. The eyes and whiskers are varied. The antennae are prominently rod-like, slightly flattened and concave below (with the exception of female butterflies of the genus Black Grey). The tarsal segment of the male butterfly heals into 1 segment, with the tip pointed and curved downwards. The tibial segments of the middle and posterior feet have an end spacing. The subfamily is divided into 4 families and 89 genera, and there are 2 families in China.
Scientific research value: China's vast territory, complex terrain and climatic conditions, coupled with the Dongyang and Jibei districts in the cross-world zoogeographic division, butterfly resources are extremely rich. The early taxonomic research of gray butterfly was mostly done by Western scholars, including 132 species of 27 genera known at that time; the work of Chinese scholars was the most perfect "China Gray Rainbow List" by Huang Xiuming (1943), which systematically summarized the number of known gray butterfly species at that time, 222 species of 50 genera and relevant literature, which has important reference value for the study of Chinese gray butterfly.

Butterfly is a general term for insects in the family Butterfly, with about 6,000 species worldwide, belonging to medium to large butterflies.
Many species are colorful, such as the monarch moth, the red butterfly, the melasma butterfly and the leopard butterfly. In contrast, the ventral surface of its wings is dim, making some species look like dead leaves, or more pale, to produce a crypsis effect that helps butterflies disappear from their environment.
Morphological characteristics: Lepidoptera (Lepidoptera) Butterfly (Nymphalidae) A collective name for a group of butterflies, characterized by degenerated forefoot, usually hairy, and shaped like a brush, hence the name. It is also called a four-legged butterfly because they have only two pairs of functional (or walking) feet.
Lepidoptera (Lepidoptera) Is a collective term for a group of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae, characterized by degenerated forefoot, usually hairy, and resembling a brush, hence the name. It is also called a four-legged butterfly because they have only two pairs of functional (or walking) feet.
The butterfly has a wingspan of 35 to 90 mm (1.5 to 3.5 inches) and has white, brown or yellow wings with distinct markings. There is often a dull protective color under the wings. Common species include leopard butterfly, mourning butterfly, thistled butterfly, sub-king butterfly, horn-winged butterfly. Females are less colorful than males.
Nymphalis antiopa, known in England as Camberwell beauty, overwinters as adults; the larvae, often called spiny elm caterpillars, live in groups and feed mainly on elm, willow and poplar leaves.
Thistle butterfly (Vanessa) is named after the larvae that feed mainly on thistle leaves. Some adult species such as the red butterfly (V. cardui) migrate in clusters. Other features: small and medium-sized butterflies, spreading wings 5 to 6.5 cm; orange-yellow wings, green-black bands on the wing margins, each with orange dots, black-brown wing veins, and a number of black brown spots scattered on the forewings; white spots on the sub-back of each segment of the abdomen; the opposite side is the same as the surface; the females are similar, but the females have larger wings and lighter colors.
Ecological habits: The larvae feed on plants such as water hemp, ramie, ceranium grass, and water flailer oil of the nettle family, which are clustered; adult insects are found except in winter, fly slowly, and like to suck rotten fruits or wetland water.
Distribution in China: The Nu River Gorge in northwestern Yunnan is the second most famous canyon in the world and is known locally as Butterfly Canyon. From north to south, Gaoquangong Mountain and Biluo Snow Mountain are majestic and steep, with the highest altitude of 6469 meters and the lowest altitude of 3911 meters. The slope is around 45 degrees, and the Nu River is sandwiched by two mountains, from north to south. Roaring, huge drops form silver waterfalls, rich plant types on both sides, coniferous broad-leaved forests are layered, rhododendrons, primroses, camellias, precious flowers are numerous, forming a clear vertical distribution, mountain flowers are full of rhododendrons, cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, orchids, competing to open, beautiful flowers attract countless butterflies. There are data showing that the Butterfly Valley has 107 species of butterfly species in 11 families and 80 genera, including 12 species of butterfly family, 16 species of butterfly family, 17 species of butterfly family, 34 species of butterfly family, 10 species of gray butterfly family, 7 species of butterfly family, 4 species of butterfly family, 4 species of butterfly family, 4 species of butterfly family, 1 species of beaked butterfly family, and 1 species of silk butterfly family. The most ornamental butterfly golden phoenix butterfly, jade belt phoenix butterfly, pepper butterfly, wing butterfly and so on. The canyon is full of flowers and colorful butterflies, and the real butterfly valley is worthy of the name

Hesperiidae, a family of butterflies, has a large number of species. Adults are small butterfly species and are the most morphological and life-specific species among butterflies. Adults of the family Rhizopteridae have pointed hook-shaped antennae; the forefoots of both male and female adults are normal. Butterflies are medium to small in size, with a stubby body and densely scaled hairs. The antennae are club-shaped, and the tips of several segments at the ends are curved like hooks, which are unique features of this family.
Appearance characteristics: Leptarianidae (Lep Pterophoridae) Hesperiidae (Hesperiidae) Is a collective name for nearly 3,000 species of insects, distributed globally. Small, fat and short, flying fast as jumping. Or think that butterflies are between butterflies and moths. Adults have moth-like heads and bodies, but most of their forewings are lifted up like butterflies when stationary.
It is also found in the winged trunks of most moths. The antennae are butterfly-like and stick-shaped, but most have thin hooks at the ends. The wing muscles are strong, so they fly at speeds of up to 32 kilometers (20 miles) per hour. The larvae feed on legumes and grasses, often folding their leaves into a net and living inside.
Pupates in a silky cocoon or a thin cocoon of silk and leaves. Or the butterflies are grouped into the Euschemonidae family (Australian species) and the Megathymidae family (adult wingspan of about 90 metric [3.5 inches]), and the larvae of the butterflies that burrow into the leaves of agave and yucca are considered delicious in Mexico and can be sold in oil or cans, called gusanos de maguey.
There are many species of butterflies in this genus. Adults belong to small butterfly species, there are more than 3,000 species in the world, and are the most special species of butterflies in form and living habits. He is stout, with a large head and eyelashes in front of his eyes. Adults of the family Pterophoridae have pointed hook-like antennae (with hooks at the tip of the tip) and the base of the antennae are far away from each other; the forefoots of both male and female adults are normal. Fly quickly and jump with it. Butterflies, like the small grey butterflies, are small in size , with triangular forewings and oval hindwings. Dark black or tan, a few species are yellow or white. The appearance is simple and not gorgeous and dazzling·

1. The life history is through the four stages of egg-larvae-pupae-adult worms, which belong to complete metamorphosis
Large umbrella butterfly [1] developing insects.
2. Adult worms have two pairs of large, scaly wings.
3. Most adults have a siphon mouthpiece that can be retracted.
The antennae are club-shaped, especially when the ends are inflated and followed by a small sharp finish or merger.
5. Many butterflies prefer to suck bird droppings.
6. Most of the wings are simple, and when they stop perching, some of the wings are flat like jade belt butterflies, and some are open.
Life habits: Butterfly larvae will cut through the leaves of some of the host plants, roll up the leaves, hide inside for feeding and pupals, for example, the striped blue velvet butterfly larvae

IX. Clams
Butterfly (xiǎn dié) metalmark, insect of the family Lepidoptera (Riodinidae). It is found mainly in South America. The appearance is characterized by metallic markings on the wings. Clams are good at mimicking the morphology of other butterflies; clams are variety of colors and wing shapes, so they are not easy to identify. Males have degenerate forefoots, while females are normal. The larvae are broad and flattened and generally hairy. Feeds on thousands of miles of light and thistle plants.
Morphological characteristics: Clams are small butterflies similar to gray butterflies, with a small head, slender antennae, a pronounced hammer-shaped end, and most white rings. The compound eye is hairless. Most species have no tail-like protrusions, and a few species have caudal protrusions. The male forefoot degenerates, does not function under the chest, and has no claws (this feature is the same as that of the beaked butterfly); the female forefoot is normal.
The forewings of the butterfly are triangular; the middle chamber is closed; the R veins are 5 branches, R3 to R5 are costalked; M1 and R veins are cosched; and the A veins are bifurcated at the base (3A merges into 2A). The hindwings are nearly ovate and the shoulder angles are thicker. The shoulder veins are developed; the middle chamber is closed; the shoulder area has a more developed shoulder transverse vein (h); the inner border gluteal area is more developed, with 2 A veins (2A and 3A), and there are caudal protrusions at the M3 or 2A veins, some with thick tail processes and some with elongated tail processes.
The egg bun is shaped with small protrusions on the surface. The larvae have a large head and fine hairs on the body, and the whole is short and flattened in the shape of a slug, similar in size to that of the gray butterfly larvae. Thick rounded pupae.
The wings are dark brown or yellowish red with red or black markings, some species have eye stripes, and individual species have transparent wings. Hi is active in the sun and flies quickly, but the flight distance is not far. The four wings are semi-spread when resting on the leaf surface, and the middle name "clam" is derived from this. Some species turn frequently on the leaves. Constantly changing direction.
The eggs are nearly spherical in shape with small protrusions on the surface. The larvae are flattened and densely covered with fine hairs, similar to the gray butterfly family. Some species cohabit with ants. Pupae are bravado pupae, short and blunt and round. It has short hairs. The hosts are plants of the Purple Venaceae, The Grass Subfamily, and the Bamboo Subfamily.
Life Habits: Butterflies like to fly when the sun is shining, flying quickly but not far away. Wings like to spread when resting.

10. Eye butterfly
Lepidoptera Is a collective term for butterflies in the family Satyridae. The larvae of the Lepidoptera insects are velvety brown or green with small, bifurcated caudal appendages. Adult wings are brown with a wingspan of 5–6 cm and distinct eye spots (ring-shaped markings). The prosthetic eyes on the wings may be used to frighten or confuse predatory birds.
Biological characteristics: The eye butterfly often lives in the forest, forest edge or riverside grass, and a few species are harmful to crops such as rice. Some species inhabit dead tree trunks. Adults fly slower and are easier to collect.
Host type: The host plants are mainly gramineae plants, some species are important pests in rice cultivation, and some species are Cyperaceae plants.
Ornamental value: The ophthalmopoda belongs to medium-sized or large butterflies, which can be used as the main material in handicraft processing, and small species can be used as auxiliary materials for butterfly crafts and play an embellishment role. The eye spots of the butterfly will add a very good artistic effect to the butterfly ornamental crafts. Before production, the background of the craft box is arranged with a color inkjet printer, and different flowers and scenery pictures are selected as a background as needed, and the Chinese name, scientific name and text description are indicated. Then remove the insect needle on the chest of the adult butterfly, apply milky white glue to the foam block to fix the specimen on the background, and arrange various postures according to the characteristics of the butterfly specimen, and make a certain space between the specimen and the background to create a three-dimensional visual effect, and install the craft frame after drying.
In addition, the lepidons of the ophthalmic butterfly specimens are also well used in the production of butterfly stickers. Since the eye spots of the Pterophora can shape the eyes of animals and various round scenes, together with other butterflies, there will be a good viewing effect.

11. Butterfly
The family Acraeidae is separated from the family Butterfly, and the adults are similar to the Species of the Butterfly Family, hence the family Panaceae. Adults are small and medium-sized butterfly species. It is brown or red in color and decorated with black and white markings.
Population distribution: mainly distributed in South America and Africa, only a few species are distributed in the Eastern Ocean and Australia. There are 2 species in 1 genus known in China, including ramie butterfly and spotted butterfly.
The family is separated from the butterfly family, and the adult insects are similar to the species of the butterfly family, so it is also called the butterfly family.
Distributed in South America and Africa, the Eastern Ocean region, the world's about 200 species, China one genus two species.
Description: The family is a medium- or smaller butterfly with narrow and long forewings, significantly longer than the hindwings; elongated abdomen with cylindrical lower lip; vestigial forefoot degeneration, asymmetrical claws of the middle and hind feet. It can secrete a foul-smelling yellow juice from the chest to escape predators, which is also admired by other butterflies. Most species have red or brown wings, similar to the environment in which they grow, some have a metallic luster, and a few species are transparent, reminiscent of other insects. The middle chamber is open or closed with a thin transverse vein. Medium-sized, adult species of small to medium sized butterflies. Reddish or brown, sometimes with a metallic luster of the family Populaceae. It is slow to fly, migrates and inhabits small trees in groups, resembling spotted butterflies. The antennae are gradually thickened but not obvious; the forefoot degenerates and contracts are not necessary, the male has only one tarsal segment, the female has 5 tarsal segments, the claws are all degenerate, and the claws of the middle hind foot are asymmetrical; after the females have crossed the tail, there is a triangular gluteal sleeve at the end of the abdomen. Adult forewings are narrow oblong-ovoid, distinctly longer than the hindwings; the middle chamber is closed; R veins have 5 branches, R2 to R5 costalk; M1 and R veins do not share stalks; A veins have only 1 (2A). The hindwings are nearly ovoid; the middle ventricle is closed; the shoulder area has an auric transverse vein (h); M1 and Rs have a short stalk; and the inner rumpar region has 2 A veins (2A and 3A).
Life habits: The host plants are mainly nettle plants, such as water hemp. African species mostly feed on passionflower plants. South American species feed on a variety of plants.
The eggs are long and ovate, with more than 10 ovate ridges. Ramie butterfly The larvae are spiny.
Pupae suspended pupae. Conical in shape, with small protrusions on the back of the cephalothorax.
