Butterflies and bees have many things in common. They are both insects that live in all over the world. Another
similarity is that they both have 4 wings. Their wings are different though. Butterflies have brightly colored wings and
bees’ wings are transparent. Bees live in larger groups called colonies. Butterflies do not. They often travel by
themselves. Butterflies and bees are also similar because they both feed both nectar and pollen from flowers.
