  1. emperor butterfly

    The Nymphalidae are the largest family of butterflies, with more than 6,000 species distributed throughout most of the world. Belonging to the superfamily Papilionoidea, they are usually medium-sized to large butterflies. Most species have a reduced pair of forelegs and many hold their colourful wings flat when resting. They are also called brush-footed butterflies or four-footed butterflies, because they are known to stand on only four legs while the other two are curled up; in some species, these forelegs have a brush-like set of hairs, which gives this family its other common name. Many species are brightly coloured and include popular species such as the emperors, monarch butterfly, admirals, tortoiseshells, and fritillaries. However, the under wings are, in contrast, often dull and in some species look remarkably like dead leaves, or are much paler, producing a cryptic effect that helps the butterflies blend into their surroundings.

    An emperor butterfly is a large, brightly colored butterfly that belongs to the Apatura genus or Nymphalidae family, found primarily in Europe and Asia. It is well-known for its eye-catching colors and patterns, which can vary depending on the specific species but often include shades of orange, brown, and blue. Like all butterflies, the emperor butterfly undergoes a complete metamorphosis from an egg to a caterpillar, then a pupa, and finally an adult butterfly.
