hindwings are usually smaller than forewings, both largely or entirely covered with scales. Adult mouthparts adapted for sucking, the proboscis is usually in the form of a coiled tube. (Lepidoptera) Large, striking butterflies with hind wings usually displaying characteristic elongated tails(Papilionoidea). https://bugguide.net/node/view/2636
