Life of Butterflies

in animals •  6 years ago 

Adult butterflies, depending on their species, can survive for several weeks to several months.

The life cycle of a butterfly is as follows; Egg larva pupa imago. They spend most of their life in the larval stage. As an adult with wings, their life span can start from 3 days.

There are more than 20,000 species of butterflies. For example, one of the species known for their long life is the famous king butterflies and they live for around 6 months.

May flies, which are sometimes confused with butterflies, are an insect species and have less than a day living. But even those who managed to live for a year can come across.

But there is a fact. From the moment it wings and starts to fly, the primary purpose of a butterfly is to mate. Because he steps into adulthood, leaving behind all stages of nutrition and development. So breeding is the most important need. And they usually do it in the first 24 hours. Male butterflies die after mating, while females are waiting to lay eggs.
