Butterfly

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 imagination.
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 or butterflies have been recorded. Many species of a few kinds
of butterflies are still being discovered.
