A butterfly is a flying insect of the order Lepidoptera. They share this order with the moth family.
There are between 15,000 and 20,000 butterfly species in the world. Some of these species are endangered.
Butterflies go through four stages in their life, egg stage, larval or caterpillar stage, pupa, and finally, the adult butterfly.
Many people enjoy butterfly watching as a hobby. Those who study butterflies and moths are called lepidopterists.
