[QUOTE="happy1892, post: 347415, member: 5913"] Yes, butterflies are just one subgroup of moth. People found out from genetic testing that moths are very diverse genetically. So there are many groups or types of moths. And butterflies are just one of those groups of moths. It is similar to termites being just a kind of cockroach. Genetically, there are species of cockroaches more closely related to termites than to other species of cockroaches. So termites are a specialized social cockroach. And there is even a cockroach, Cryptocercus spp., that I have heard people call the "proto termites", because they have primitive social colonies. Cryptocercus is somewhat related to termites. They are in the same superfamily as termites: [URL unfurl="true"]http://cockroach.speciesfile.org/Common/basic/Taxa.aspx?TaxonNameID=1178159[/URL] [/QUOTE]
