Talk:Lepidopterran/Original

Species name trivia
I'm not sure this qualifies for main page information, hence putting it here, but the name Lepidopterran is misleading. Lepidopterrans are missing some of the identifying features of their namesake, lepidopteras. (Lepidoptera means scaly wing, which they do not appear to have. They only have 2 wings, as opposed to 4. And they lack a proboscis.)

I am aware that the name is just an omage to the actual scientific order Lepidoptera, but I felt compelled to make a note that the features depicted in the series do not accurately reflect their namesake. Peacexfreedom (talk) 18:39, April 17, 2017 (UTC)
