The Life of Beautiful insect (Butterfly)

Butterfly is the most beautiful & common insect which we usually see near our surroundings. Butterflies are having life span up to 12 months. Butterflies & moths are look like same but both are different. Butterflies close wing when they are taking pollen from flowers & it takes pollen only in day time, but moths open the wings when they take pollen from flowers in night time only. Like ants & Honey bees the butterflies don’t have proper home.

Some of the butterfly families are Hedylidae, Hesperildae, Lycaenidae, Pieridae, Riodinidae & others.

Insect is classified by these following characteristics that are having compound eyes, 3 pairs of legs, thorax & abdomen.

Life Cycle:-

The life cycle of Butterfly is called as “Metamorphosis” the series of change. In metamorphosis they are 4 stages that are Egg, caterpillar, pupa & butterfly.

The Female butterfly (Monarch) lays eggs under the tree leaf, within few days the egg will become caterpillar in few days & start eating leaf slowly. The caterpillar will gradually become a pupa, it sticks to a tree & protect her by showing her like a new stem of a tree. After some days slowly the Pupa will become an adult Butterfly. And again it lay eggs & start life cycle.

Body Parts: -

Body parts are Compound eyes, nose is called antennal sensilla through they can smell, mouth is called maxillary pury through they can taste, taste buds are called palps.

The eyes were called as compound eyes having 1000 lenses, through which they can see the world with low resolution because lack of Oomatidia. Generally the butterflies can’t see some colors, but they can see ultraviolent rays. Through Nectar guide through UV rays the flower attracts butterfly for pollination for plants & food for butterfly.

Food:-

The Butterfly food was Pollen from flowers. By taking pollen from flowers it’s not only feeding him/herself, but also helping plants in pollination. Pollination helps trees in reproduction. Cow dung is also another food for butterfly.

The relationship between insects and flowers is called mutuvalis & parasite. Mutuvalis means helping each other (Taking food from plants & helping in pollination). And Parasite means cheating the plant without pollination the plants.

Comments in Class:-

Even though you are classified, they don’t have logical flow. Creative title is necessary.

Conclusion:-

Butterfly helps us in enjoying the beauty of Nature (Through his/her beauty), then our mind will divert from stress. It helps in increasing plants through pollination. This will helps in decreasing pollution.
