    Because their wings are considerably anatomically different, this would be a case of convergent evolution with the wings being seperately evolved as an analogous rather than homologous structure after their divergence from a common ancestor. This would mean that birds and butterflies are probably not closely related.

    Birds and butterflies have homologous organs, which indicate they share a common ancestor.
