Below are links to pages than illustrate butterflies in many of the sub-species of this class of insect. There is still debates of the exact number of butterfly sub-species, but current thinking suggests that there are around 20 sub-families within the seven families.
Family Papilionadae (Swallowtails)
Family Hesperidae (Skippers)
Family Nymphalidae (Brush-footed or four-footed butterflies)
Family Lycaenidae (Blues, Coppers and Hairstreaks)
Pieridae (Whites and allies)
