Butterfly is my favorite animal. They're so beautiful.
They are a very ancient animal too. There are butterfly fossils that show butterflies existed 56 million years ago!
That's amazing! I didn't know that. There is many butterfly species too, all different colors and shapes.
Many butterflies are able to camouflage themselves to avoid predators.
Oh so they're like Chameleons in a way! Do these butterflies change their colors?
I think so. They can use mimicry as well. Do you have a favorite type of butterfly?
I'm not sure about a favorite kind, I wouldn't know scientific butterfly names anyway. I like when they're colorful.
Well, for instance, a monarch butterfly is quite common.  They are pretty. 
I think I've heard of them. Aren't moths a kind of butterfly as well?
Comparison of butterflies and moths
A common classification of the Lepidoptera involves their differentiation into butterflies and moths. Butterflies are a natural monophyletic group, often given the suborder Rhopalocera, which includes Papilionoidea (true butterflies), Hesperiidae (skippers), and Hedylidae (butterfly moths). In this taxonomic scheme, moths belong to the suborder Heterocera. Other taxonomic schemes have been proposed; the most common putting the butterflies into the suborder Ditrysia and then the "superfamily" Papilionoidea, and ignoring a classification for moths.

Meza larea
Meza larea is a butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. They are in subfamily Hesperiinae and the tribe Aeromachini. These beautiful butterflies were found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Shaba), western Tanzania, Malawi and northern Zambia.
The "Meza larea" have many predators including lizards, collectors and birds. These beautiful butterflies have a very long life compared to other butterflies. It is believed that the astounding colors of the "Meza larea" help camouflage them and help improve their chances of living longer
