the most insects I think are butterflies. there are many colors on the wings. and the butterfly that I show also has beautiful wings. there are some small spheres on the wings. butterflies come from cocoons. then it turns a caterpillar into a moth and turns again into a butterfly. a lot of changes. that's the process of growing a butterfly. but this is very extraordinary. because a caterpillar has no wings, then turns into a butterfly. butterflies generally do not have a long life. only 2 months on average the butterfly lives.

Nope: there are about 400000 described Coleoptera (beetle) species.
It is estimated that there exist about 1000000 million Diptera species.

However, you are right that also the Lepidoptera (butterflies) build a large insect order.
