I STUDIED ENTOMOLOGY IN MY UNIVERSITY DAYS AND I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT THERE IS A SPECIALIZATION ON LEPIDOPTERANS.
Anyway, as you are asking, it is the study of the insect order lepidopterans where butterflies and moths belong. lepids means scales, the sticky thing that covers the wings and the body of all butterflies and moths. they are differentiated from the rest of the insects by these lepids and by the type of their tongue which is called proboscis. they uses this tongue to pick up foods.

Okay, you have already been told that the answer is butterflies. That is correct. For further information, bees, wasps and ants are hymenopteran, beetles are coleopteran, flies and dipteran, termites are isopteran, grasshopers, crickets and katydids are orthopteran, etc. Go to a website about entomology and you will learn more about the insects.
