A butterfly is an insect of the order Lepidoptera. Most species are day-flying so they regularly attract attention. The diverse patterns formed by their brightly coloured wings and their erratic yet graceful flight have made butterfly watching a fairly popular hobby.
Culturally, butterflies are a popular motif in the visual and literary arts.
