google: Lepidoptera(order of butterflies and moths) and these families. Nymphalidae(brushfooted betterflies) Satyridae(satyrs) Danaidae (milkweed butterflies) Libytheidae (Snout butterflies)
Papilionidae (swallowtails) Pieridae (whites, sulphurs) Riodinidae(metalmarks) Lycaenidae (blues,coppers, hairstreaks) Hesperiidae (skippers)
these are the broad breakdowns, if you do a wikipedia search or a google search for these families you should find a lot of info
