Lepidoptera
Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies; class Insecta, subclass Pterygota) Major order of insects, characterized by wings with overlapping scales. The wing-span ranges from less than 5 mm to about 250 mm. Adults generally have a sucking proboscis; rarely they have chewing mouth-parts (

pupae generally lack functional
mandibles. Lepidoptera are
endopterygotes, with an estimated 165 000 species.
