Wings of a butterfly are composed of membrane, while wings of a bat are composed of bony skeleton. Hence, these are not homologous organs rather analogous organs.
The wing of a butterfly and the wing of a bat be is not considered homologous organs because the designs of the two wings, their structure and components are very different.
Scientific classification of Butterfly --
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
