Nymphalidae is a large family containing what are known as Brush-footed Butterflies.

Here are some of the characteristics which differentiate the family Nymphalidae:

• bodies covered with hairy scales
• reduced forelegs
• strong fliers

The genera of Nymphalidae for which I have photographs are listed below.
