OverviewAI-generated
Lepidoptera is an order within the class Insecta, phylum Arthropoda, and kingdom Animalia. It belongs to the subclasses Pterygota, Holometabola, Amphiesmenoptera, and Endopterygota. The taxon was described by Linnaeus in 1758. Its common names include butterflies and moths, leòmann, can, and canna. The group is studied through lepidopterology.
The temporal range of Lepidoptera began in the Triassic, approximately 200 million years ago. They exhibit diurnality. The Unicode character for the subject is 🦋, and its IPA transcription is ˈlɛpɪdˈɑptɚ.ə. It is distinct from the butterfly. Records indicate 167,709,218 occurrences in the Gbif Occ database.
The subject is referenced by 100,946 other encyclopedia articles. PubMed lists 56,948 counts for the query. iDigBio records 53,152 items with 6,140 media pieces from institutions including LACM and YPM in Germany and the United States. It appears in the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary, Encyclopædia Britannica 11th edition, and the New International Encyclopedia.

「螟蛉」重定向至此。螟蛉也可以指螟蛉子。 鱗翅目(學名:Lepidoptera),又名蝶蛾目、螟蛉目,是昆蟲綱中第二大的目,包括各種蝴蝶和蛾類(并系群)。鱗翅目昆蟲是完全變態生物(卵、幼蟲、蛹、成蟲)。成蟲有兩對翅膀,上面覆滿鱗粉,口器則呈吸管狀。中國古統稱鱗翅目昆蟲為螟蛉。鱗翅目有46個總科[1][2]、126個科[3]及超過18萬个已被描述的物种,是昆虫纲中僅次於鞘翅目的第二大目,占到了全部已描述物种中的10%以上[1]。鳞翅目是世界上最广泛分布和最广为人知的昆虫目之一[4]。鳞翅目昆虫的身体结构展现出了许多变化,有利于它们的生存和传播。最新的研究表明,鳞翅目的实际物种数量可能比先前预计的要更多[5],与膜翅目,双翅目和鞘翅目并为物种数量最丰富的目。[4] 鳞翅目主要有三大衍征,最明显的是覆盖在身上和翅上的鳞片以及长长的喙。它们鳞片实际上是一种变态的、扁平的「毛发」,这些鳞片赋予了鳞翅目昆虫在颜色和图案方面显著的多样性。绝大部分物种具有膜状的翅,少数物种有不同程度的退化,甚至完全消失。鳞翅目是完全变态的,成虫进行交配和产卵的过程一般在幼虫的寄主植物附近或寄主上进行。鳞翅目的幼虫俗称毛毛虫,在外观上与成虫完全不同,具有圆柱形身体,完全发育的头部和口器,三对前足以及从无到最多五对伪足。随着它们的成长,这些幼虫会在外观上发生变化,并经历一系列称为「龄期」的阶段。一旦完全成熟,幼虫就会化蛹。一部分物种会吐丝结茧,而另一些则不会。[4]蝶蛹具有坚硬的外壳,通常没有茧。一旦蛹完成了变态,性成熟的成虫就会羽化形成。 鳞翅目拥有数百万年的历史,演变出各种各样的翅膀图案和颜色。[3]因此,鳞翅目是昆虫中最受到人们关注的一个类群,许多人参与了这些昆虫的观察,研究,收集,饲养和买卖。 鳞翅目在生物圈中作为传粉者和食物链中的一环发挥着重要作用。但是,它们的幼虫在农业中是危害作物的一大害虫,因为幼虫的主要食物来源往往是活的植物。许多鳞翅目的雌性可一产下 200 至 600 个蛋,更有甚者,这个数字可能会接近 30000 个。 从这些蛋孵化的毛毛虫可能会对大量农作物造成损害。 许多蛾类和蝴蝶物种因其作为传粉媒介、丝绸的生产者或作为害虫而在人类的经济活动中扮演重要的角色。 目录 1 词源 2 分布与多样性 3 分類与种系发生 3.1 分类 3.1.1 化石物种(尚无确切分类) 3.1.2 轭翅亚目 Zeugloptera 3.1.3 无旋喙亚目 Aglossata 3.1.4 异石蛾亚目 Heterobathmiina 3.1.5 有喙亞目 Glossata 3.2 外类群 3.3 内类群 4 相关文化 5 參見 6 注釋 7 參考資料 8 外部連結 词源 枯叶蛾毛虫啃食忍冬树叶 本目学名由卡尔 · 冯 · 林奈在1735年命名,来源是古希腊语中的 λεπίς(表示属格)、λεπίδ
