Abstract. Butterflies (Latin: Lepidóptera) are a group of insects that develop by complete metamorphosis. Originated in the early Mesozoic; the main families were formed in the early Paleogene. Fossils are mainly known from the Cretaceous period. Most butterflies' mouths consist of a highly specialized sucking hose, which spirals at the base of their heads. The curtain wings are covered with colored coins. The color of the wings, especially their different colors, is due to the fact that colorless coins absorb light at different angles, and black, yellow and other colored spots are associated with pigment. The shape and length of the mustache vary . Written wings range from 3 , 2 mm (dwarf moths) to 300 mm (dwarfs). The shape of the eggs varies and is of systematic importance. The worms have 3 pairs of thoracic legs and 5 pairs of false abdominal legs. The fungi are closed (usually inside the cocoon) and open (free) in the lower parts. Butterflies are usually divided into lower groups of lower butterflies (equal wings) and higher butterflies (different wings) . In some cases, toothed moths, which have a rodent type of oral organs, are divided into separate subgroups. The system of the butterfly family is not clearly developed, it is divided into 100 to 200 families. About 140,000 species are known. The fauna of butterflies is diverse, especially in the tropics. About 1,500 species have been identified in Uzbekistan. Large families of moths, moths, leafhoppers, and moths are especially rich in species .
