Order Lepidoptera

Butterflies - scale-winged or lepidopterous insects. The wings are covered with small scales which are masking a wing nervation. During flying, the anterior and rear wings are coupled together and operate as a single whole. Butterflies have strong eyes, and to shoot them is very difficulty, therefore, there are a small number of good shots.
