Collection: Butterflies & Moths

Butterflies are often polymorphic, and many species make use of camouflage, mimicry and aposematism to evade their predators. Some, like the monarch and the painted lady, migrate over long distances.

Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described.
