Scientific classification can be hard. Butterflies belong to six different family types. These 6 families are swallowtails, whites and sulphurs, metalmarks, brush-foots, gossamer-wings, and skippers.

Bees are more related to wasps and ants. They're in the Apoidea family but certain types of bees are in different families. For example, bees in Africa are part of the Melittidae family, and a special kind of bee known as the plasterer bee is part of the colletidae family.
