Insects are the largest group of living things on Earth and butterflies are a good example of insects. It is familiar to the public and to science because of its vibrant colors and elegant flight (Perveen & Fazal, 2013). Butterflies are defined as flying insects with large wings that are usually colorful and attractive. It is known as the most effective flower pollinator, besides moths and bees (Perveen & Fazal, 2013). Flowers are the main food source for butterflies (Abang, 2006). Quinn and Klym (2009) stated that railroad and utility rights-of-way, deserted fields, and along dirt roads are among the many butterfly habitats. The exact number of existing butterfly species is still unknown. However, butterflies can be classified into three categories: Nymphalidae (Brush-footed Butterflies), Lycaenidae (Gosaemer-Wings) and Hesperiidae (Skipperwings). The first type of butterfly is the Nymphalidae. According to Abang (2006), Nymphalidae are also known as four-legged butterflies. These types of butterflies are usually medium or large in size and most of them are brightly colored. They get their name from their appearance, which is more like a paintbrush, and they walk and stand primarily using their rear pair of legs. Nymphalidae love the sun and many of them fly with typical nymphalid flight. This type of butterfly includes the monarch, blue morphos and fritillaries (Wahlberg, 2006). Durden and Rose (1978) stated that the handful of available fossils suggest that butterflies are relatively young, with the oldest fossil dating back 48 million years from the family Papilionidae. The quino checkerboard butterfly (QCB) is an example of a species in the family Nymphalidae. However, this species has been listed as... middle of article......Perveen, F. and Fazal, F. (2013).
