Butterfly families
Papilionidae (swallowtails)
many but not all species with hindwing tails; wings usually black with and prominently marked with white or a bright colour; strong on the wing; males of some species congregate in large numbers at moist spots on the ground

Pieridae (whites and sulphurs)

mostly white, yellow or orange-yellow; in many of the white species, the underside of the hindwing brightly coloured;

Nymphalidae
four-footed butterflies because forlegs are much reduced an cannot be used for walking

Lycaenidae
forelegs reduced compared to other legs, but in females fore-tarsus five-segmented, clawed and fully functional; in male foretarsus normally reduced to single segment; early stages often associated with ants

Hesperidae (skippers)
antennae generally curved or hooked
