All about Butterfly

🐛What is Butterfly🐛

Unlike many other insects, butterflies are widely embraced and celebrated for their beauty and charisma. In addition to their cultural significance and aesthetic charm, they make a very valuable contribution to ecosystems worldwide and are important study animals for ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. Butterflies and moths belong to the insect Order Lepidoptera, which is a word that comes from the Greek words for “scale” and “wing.” This is because all the patterns and colours on the wings and bodies of butterflies and moths are made up of tiny coloured scales. All butterflies are terrestrial, meaning they live on land. Although most known species are tropical, butterflies can be found living throughout the world from the tropics on the equator to northern regions above the arctic circle, and from sea level to mountain tops over 6000 metres tall!
