Here we highlight the species of butterflies and moths that can be seen in Qatif Governorate, including migratory and resident ones.

Moths and butterflies are two orders under the Lepidoptera order and are referred to as butterflies. They come in different sizes, some of which do not cover the size of the fingernail of the little finger of the hand, and some of which exceed the size of the palm of the hand. They are six-legged insects whose bodies are divided into three regions (the head region - the chest region - the abdominal region).
