******************
Butterflies are insects in the clade Rhopalocera from the order Lepidoptera, which also includes moths. Adult butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight. The group comprises the large superfamily Papilionoidea, along with two smaller groups, the skippers and the moth-butterflies. Butterfly fossils date to the Palaeocene, about 56 million years ago.

Thanks so much, Jerry! This butterfly was sleeping for the longest time upside down - so plenty of time to take a picture! :-)
