PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
We aimed to explore the evolutionary relationships of selected insect species, with a focus on moths and butterflies By constructing a character matrix and cladogram, we sought to identify shared traits and ancestral connections among these species. Our research highlights the significance of morphological characteristics in understanding species diversity and evolution, emphasizing the role of systematics in uncovering evolutionary history.
