Is a butterfly an insect?

Do insects have 2 pair of wings?
Actually, they have 3 body sections: The segments of the body are organized into three distinctive but interconnected units, or tagmata; a head, a thorax, and an abdomen. The head supports a pair of sensory antennae, a pair of compound eyes, if present, one to three simple eyes, if present, ("ocelli") and three sets of variously modified appendages that form the mouthparts. The thorax has six segmented legs (one pair each for the prothorax, mesothorax and the metathorax segments making up the thorax) and two or four wings (if present in the species). The abdomen (made up of eleven segments some of which may be reduced or fused) has most of the digestive, respiratory, excretory and reproductive internal structures.

Most insects have four legs shells scales or wings?
The presence of four legs, shells, scales, or wings differs among insect species. While most insects have six legs and some have wings, there are exceptions to these characteristics within the insect world. For example, not all insects have wings; some may have only three pairs of legs due to evolutionary adaptations.

If an insect does not have wings how does that help the insect?
Flying insects are one of three members of a group known as hexapoda (literally, six walking appendages). True winged insects do have wings as adults. Every one of them. Two pairs of them, in fact. Sometimes the top pair hardens and becomes a protective shell for the insect and the lower pair of wings (beetles), sometimes the lower pair becomes nothing more than a vestigial, and is only used to stabilise flight (bees and some flies), sometimes both pairs of wings are developed for warning against predators and for courtship displays (butterflies and moths). A class called parainsecta (of which silverfish and firebrats are members) has all the characteristics of flying insects apart from the wings. The question of whether an animal has wings or not is entirely down to evolutionary necessity.
Why is a butterfly a insect WHY?
All insects (including butterflies) have a stiff exoskeleton, a three-part body, three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. In butterflies, the wings are made of the exoskeleton material that is so thin you can see through it.
What are characteristics that insects have with the subphylum of Myriapoda?
