Have you ever wondered about
butterflies? Despite their small size, butterflies are some of the World’s most
wondrous animals. Their beauty, seemingly miraculous metamorphosis, and
apparently carefree flight all spark our imaginations.
As advanced insects, butterflies and
moths have a “complete” life cycle. This means that there are four separate
stages, each of which looks completely different and serves a different purpose
in the life of the insect. They are eggs, caterpillars, chrysalises, and
colorful butterflies
Butterflies and moths are found on
all continents except Antarctica, and scientists estimate that there are
approximately 12-15,000 species of butterflies. In the United States and
Canada, more than 750 species of butterflies have been recorded. Many species
of a few kinds of butterflies are still being discovered.
There are still thousands of
butterfly species that have not been found or described by scientists. There is
much to be learned.
