What are butterflies? All butterflies and moths are insects.

3
00:00:18,969 --> 00:00:26,969
Insects are the most abundant and diverse group of animals, making up over 58% of the world's known biodiversity.

4
00:00:26,969 --> 00:00:35,969
They can be found living on land, in the air and underwater, thriving almost everywhere except for the open ocean.

Morphology of butterflies

6
00:00:37,969 --> 00:00:46,969
Butterflies are insects and, like most insects, they have a three-parted body, with head, thorax and abdomen.

7
00:00:46,969 --> 00:00:53,969
They also have two pairs of wings and three pairs of legs on the thorax and a pair of antennae on the head.

00:00:53,969 --> 00:00:57,969
Here, in the image, you can see better the parts.

00:00:57,969 --> 00:00:59,969
How well do they live?

10
00:00:59,969 --> 00:01:10,969
Butterflies can be found in nearly all types of habitats, including deserts, wetlands, grasslands, forests, and alps, but specific ones can live underground.

11
00:01:10,969 --> 00:01:12,969
Feeding of butterflies

12
00:01:12,969 --> 00:01:26,969
Not all butterflies are attracted to flower nectar. Some readily partake of liquid from sources such as tree sap, honeydew, overripe, or rolling fruit .

00:01:26,969 --> 00:01:28,969
Reproduction of butterflies

14
00:01:28,969 --> 00:01:31,569
They have sexual reproduction.

15
00:01:31,569 --> 00:01:36,209
What they do is to lean together and when they are young,

16
00:01:36,209 --> 00:01:39,730
the male is going to pass the sperm to the female

17
00:01:39,730 --> 00:01:42,569
through the abdomen, fertilizing the wings.

18
00:01:42,569 --> 00:01:46,849
And then the female lays the eggs on a plant

19
00:01:46,849 --> 00:01:48,689
on the ground floor.

20
00:01:48,689 --> 00:01:51,409
Interesting facts of butterflies.

21
00:01:51,409 --> 00:01:54,530
Butterfly wings are transparent.

22
00:01:54,530 --> 00:01:57,730
Butterflies taste with their feet.

23
00:01:57,730 --> 00:02:07,189
Butterflies enjoy an all-nutrient diet and a butterfly that can drink is a butterfly in a trouble.
