The '''Ditrysia''' are a natural group or [[Cladistics|clade]] of [[insects]] in the [[Lepidoptera]]n [[Scientific classification|order]] containing both [[butterfly|butterflies]] and [[moth]]s. They are so named because the female has two distinct sexual openings: one for [[mating]], and the other for laying [[egg (biology)|eggs]]. About 98% of [[Binomial nomenclature|described]] species of Lepidoptera belong to Ditrysia. The group can be divided into [[Basal (phylogenetics)|basal]] or ''[[incertae sedis]]'' "micromoths" and the '''Apoditrysia''' which includes mostly larger moths as well as the butterflies.
