Butterflies are insects in the macrolepidopteran clade Rhopalocera from the order Lepidoptera, which also includes moths. Adult butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight. The group comprises the large superfamily Papilionoidea, which contains at least one former group, the skippers (formerly the superfamily "Hesperioidea"), and the most recent analyses suggest it also contains the moth-butterflies (formerly the superfamily "Hedyloidea"). Butterfly fossils date to the Paleocene, about 56 million years ago.
Butterflies have the typical four-stage insect life cycle. Winged adults lay eggs on the food plant on which their larvae, known as caterpillars, will feed. The caterpillars grow, sometimes very rapidly, and when fully developed, pupate in a chrysalis. When metamorphosis is complete, the pupal skin splits, the adult insect climbs out, and after its wings have expanded and dried, it flies off. Some butterflies, especially in the tropics, have several generations in a year, while others have a single generation, and a few in cold locations may take several years to pass through their entire life cycle.
Butterflies are often polymorphic, and many species make use of camouflage, mimicry and aposematism to evade their predators. Some, like the monarch and the painted lady, migrate over long distances. Many butterflies are attacked by parasites or parasitoids, including wasps, protozoans, flies, and other invertebrates, or are preyed upon by other organisms. Some species are pests because in their larval stages they can damage domestic crops or trees; other species are agents of pollination of some plants. Larvae of a few butterflies (e.g., harvesters) eat harmful insects, and a few are predators of ants, while others live as mutualists in association with ants. Culturally, butterflies are a popular motif in the visual and literary arts.

Most strawberries you buy in stores are genetic monstrosities known as polymorphic strawberries. They're larger and more waterlogged than your typical strawberries... and also less sweet.
Molecular tools developed in the past few years provide easy, less laborious means for assigning known and unknown plant taxa. These techniques answer many new evolutionary and taxonomic questions, which were not previously possible with only phenotypic methods. Molecular techniques such as DNA barcoding, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), microsatellites and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) have recently been used for plant diversity studies. This review presents a basic description of different molecular techniques that can be utilized for DNA fingerprinting and molecular diversity analysis of plant species. DNA barcoding uses particular regions of DNA making helping in categorization and recognize unknown species. Researchers now interested to generate DNA barcodes designed for all living organisms and to build up data accessible to public to help in understanding of natural biodiversity of world. Cyclotides are peptides derived from plants with particular head to tail cyclic backbone that have three disulphide bonds by forming a cystine knot. Recent information about DNA barcoding can be used for detection of unidentified biological specimens to a taxonomic group, accurate detection of phytomedicinals, and in the biodiversity of living organisms.

Moraceae, red mulberry, simple alternate, polymorphic, unlobed/lobed, very soft, base truncate, serrate, bottom dens pubescents, pseudo terminal buds, small spikes on twigs
B. j. harlani (Audubon, 1830). Includes B. cooperi Cassin, 1856. Considered invalid by Palmer (Palmer 1988f), who attributed variation to polymorphism, but see Mindell (Mindell 1983a). Breeds from central Alaska through Yukon to n. British Columbia; winters chiefly in Great Plains and w. Midwest, south to Gulf Coast; some winter to Pacific coast [type locality = St. Francisville, Louisiana]. Polymorphic, although dark-morph birds predominate and gradation between dark and light morphs is continuous (Wheeler 2003b). Tail distinctive: rectrices whitish or gray mottled or streaked longitudinally with black, at times tinged reddish or light brown.
Family: Lauraceae
Traits: leaves polymorphic (leaf, glove, "middle finger"), light on underside and dark on top
Sassafras albidum leaf - polymorphic shape (less lobing in southern regions), apex is obtuse to rounded with a mucronate tip, base is acute, margin is entire to lobed, upper surface is glabrous and bright green, pubescence below (more in southern range)
