Narrative

Nymphalidae Family contains many brightly colored medium-sized butterflies. Usually strong fliers, they are found throughout the world. Their front pair of legs are generally much reduced in size and give them the appearance of having only four legs. At one time the Morphos, Amathusids, Brassolids, and Satyrids were considered subfamilies of this large complex, but for convenience they have been recently separated into full families on their own.
