Papilionoidea (superfamily) (Lepidoptera (order), Insecta (class), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Members of a superfamily containing around 14,000 species of insects belonging to four families. The wings, bodies, and legs of butterflies, like those of moths, are covered with dustlike scales. Unlike moths, butterflies are active during the day and are usually brightly colored or strikingly patterned. Perhaps the most distinctive physical features of the butterfly are its club-tipped antennae and its habit of holding the wings vertically over the back when at rest.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 該總科有14,000種昆蟲種類,分屬4個科。蝴蝶,同飛蛾之屬,其翅膀、身體與足部皆沾附粉塵般的鱗粉。蝴蝶活躍於白天,通常顏色鮮豔,或有醒目的圖案,有別於飛蛾。其形似高爾夫球桿頭的觸角末端,以及當其停下來,雙翅合閉,保持與身體垂直,是最顯著的特徵。 
Dutch ..... Leden van een superfamilie bestaande uit circa 14.000 soorten insecten die behoren tot vier families. De vleugels, rompen en poten van vlinders zijn, net als die van motten, bezet met stofachtige schubben. Anders dan motten zijn vlinders overdag actief en gewoonlijk helder gekleurd of voorzien van een opvallend patroon. Misschien wel de meest onderscheidende lichamelijke kenmerken van de vlinder zijn de antennes met knotsvormig uiteinde en de gewoonte om de vleugels in rust verticaal boven de rug te houden.
