Papilionoidea is a superfamily containing all the butterflies except for the skippers (superfamily Hesperioidea) and the moth-like Hedyloidea. The members of the Papilionoidea have smaller bodies and less moth-like, wings are larger, antennae are straight and clubbed (rather than hooked as in the skippers), caterpillars do not spin cocoons in which to pupate and pupae are angular rather than rounded.
