Write the article below.
A butterfly is an insect of the order Lepidoptera. The scope of the term butterflies depends on how far the concept is extended. Currently, most experts include the superfamilies Hedyloidea (the American moth-butterflies), Hesperioidea (the skippers) and Papilionoidea (the so-called 'true' butterflies). This concept of butterflies including the Hedyloidea is an only recently expanded one. Like all Lepidoptera, butterflies are notable for their unusual life cycle with a larval caterpillar stage, an inactive pupal stage and a spectacular metamorphosis into a familiar and colourful winged adult form, and most species being day-flying, they regularly attract attention. The diverse patterns formed by their brightly coloured wings and their erratic-yet graceful-flight have made butterfly watching a popular hobby.
Do you think it's a bird now? :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))

A butterfly is not a bird, since a butterfly does not have a four-chambered heart like a bird does. A bird is of the family arthropoda. It is an insect.
Hope this helps!

Please forgive those who called you stupid or an idiot for not knowing what the english word butterfly refers to. Most Americans assume that everyone knows english, the ONLY language they know.
