Butterfly families
FamilyCommon nameCharacteristicsImage
HedylidaeAmerican moth-butterfliesSmall, brown, like geometrid moths; antennae not clubbed; long slim abdomen
HesperiidaeSkippersSmall, darting flight; clubs on antennae hooked backwards
LycaenidaeBlues, coppers, hairstreaksSmall, brightly coloured; often have false heads with eyespots and small tails resembling antennae
NymphalidaeBrush-footed or four-footed butterfliesUsually have reduced forelegs, so appear four-legged; often brightly coloured
PapilionidaeSwallowtailsOften have 'tails' on wings; caterpillar generates foul taste with osmeterium organ; pupa supported by silk girdle
PieridaeWhites and alliesMostly white, yellow or orange; some serious pests of Brassica; pupa supported by silk girdle
RiodinidaeMetalmarksOften have metallic spots on wings; often conspicuously coloured with black, orange and blue
