The term “butterfly” refers to a group of insects belonging to the order Lepidoptera which includes both moths and butterflies. Lepidoptera is a mash up of two Greek words lepido or scale and ptera or wing. Like all insects, a butterfly has six legs. A butterfly also has four wings (two fore-wings, two hind-wings), and three body segments — the head, thorax and abdomen.
