Faithful friends wherever you are,
This time I want to discuss about butterflies.

Well just go all friends
Butterflies are one of the insect animals known for their beautiful features and their ability to petrify the pollination process in flower plants.

Despite having a colored wing and striking, butterfly wings are transparent, butterfly wings themselves formed from the layers of chitin, which is a protein that forms the exoskeleton of insects.

Thousands of small scales covering the chitlin and these scales will reflect light in several different colors. The older the age of a butterfly, the transparency of the wings will be more visible.

Adult butterflies consume only liquid foods, one of which is nectar. The butterfly's buttocks are modified to allow the butterflies to be able to drink nectar, but they can not afford to chew solid foods.
A trunk that serves as a drinking straw for a butterfly is beneath the butterfly's chin until it finds the source of nectar, or other liquid nutrients.

Butterflies also need minerals to survive. The butterfly will suck out a few times of mud that is rich in minerals and salt. The habit of this beautiful insect is often known as puddling.
However, this habit is often done by male butterflies because they need more minerals for sperm.

A butterfly has only a few weeks to live. Throughout the course of his life, butterflies only focus all his energies on eating and doing marriage.

While the butterfly that has a small form can only survive a few days. However, butterflies with monarchs or mourning cloacks usually survive for up to nine months.

Just all friends all,
Hopefully this post is useful for all friends. For your attention I say many thanks.
