Show D4 relrs4av. Martti 3, 2007 Vernal Express m euan ruff By: Jennifer Petty $ utter Hy iiw It's getting warmer now and you will start to see lots of animals that you didn't see during the winter. Butterflies and moths are some of the insects that you will begin to see as the weather gets warmer. There are 150,000 different types of butterflies and moths in the world! Moth species outnumber butterfly butter-fly species 16 to 1. So there are a lot more moth species. Butterflies are around during the day and moths you see mostly at night. You often see moths around lights at night because they are attracted to the light. Butterflies have six legs that help it find and taste food, two antennae on the top of their head that act as a nose and help the butterfly smell food, and a tongue which is called a proboscis and act like a vacuum for food. Butterflies also have four wings. These wings are special. They are covered in multicolored scales! These scales are what make the butterfly's beautiful patterns. The colors on a butterfly's wings serve several purposes. They help other butterflies of the same species identify each other, warn or scare predators (other animals such as birds that may want to eat the butterfly), or act as camouflage cam-ouflage so the butterfly can blend into its environment and hide from predators. A butterfly starts its life out as a caterpillar. Soon after a baby caterpillar is born, it starts eating. Most caterpillars eat leaves. As the caterpillar eats more, it becomes bigger and sheds its skin. Once a caterpillar has eaten enough, it forms a sort of shell called a chrysalis or cocoon if it is a moth. Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar becomes a butterfly. The butterfly but-terfly breaks out of the chrysalis chrys-alis and dries its wings in the air before flying away. Butterflies eat the nectar from flowers by sucking it up with their long proboscis. Most butterflies live for an average of two weeks, though some butterflies can live for almost a year. Butterflies can't live in the cold and some migrate south for the winter, but even then they only live for about six months. Some other butterflies stay in their cocoon for the winter and emerge as butterflies in the spring. fy) The cabbage white butterfly j (is the most common type of r ) butterfly in the world. ) i The Queen Alexandria Birdwing butterfly is the largest species in the world.

Think about what these people are saying about butterflies and how they relate to you. Maya Angelou: We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but-terfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty. Hans Christian Anderson: Just living is not enough, said the butterfly. One must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower. Nathaniel Hawthorne: Happiness is as a butterfly butter-fly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. Dr. Rob Gilbert: It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.
