Did you knon this?

One of the beautiful creature of nature, Butterfly, can see red, yellow and green!!
Butterfly wings are transparent.A butterfly wing is actually formed by layers of chitin, the protein that makes up an insect'.
Butterflies taste with their feet. Butterfly feet are actually tiny receptors which allow them to "taste" the food that they are standing on.
They range in size from a tiny 1/8 inch to a huge almost 12 inches.
Butterflies can't fly if they're cold.They cannot fly if their body temperature is less than 86 degrees.

Did you know that monarch butterflies go through four generations each year? The first three generations hatch from their cocoon state (also known as the pupa or chrysalis state) and live for up to six weeks, but the fourth generation continues to live on for up to six or eight months so that they can migrate to a warmer climate, hibernate, and then start a new first generation in the spring time.

Did you know that monarch butterflies are poisonous? They won’t harm humans, but the chemicals from the milkweed plant that they eat when they are in the larvae stage builds up inside of them and gives them a poisonous defense against predators like frogs, birds, mice and lizards.
