English: Lepidoptera, Colias philodice. Lepidoptera is the clade that includes butterflies and moths. They are characterized by scales on the wings and a proboscis that functions as a sucking mouthpart. Those in this order live in above ground in terrestrial ecosystems, as they utilize their wings to find nectar in flowers. This organism has been identified to species due to the sulfur color of the wings, brown trim around the edges of this butterfly, and dark circles on the fore and hind wing of the specimen. This organism was collected in leaf litter and around plants.
