Butterflies

I have chosen to put up this post because I want to bring out my knowledge to everyone to show how much I have learnt about butterflies,and  also for the people that don't know that much about butterflies,they can get the information form here.
What we had to do was do safe searching on our Chromebooks.On our Chromebooks we had to search information (for our report) about our insect/animal and type what we learnt from these websites.Some of us already knew some information about butterflies so we added it in to our report.
What I enjoyed about this is finding a picture of a butterfly and learning more and more and more about butterflies.I also enjoyed searching it up on the internet and finding out one of the amazing thing you could have known.
What was challenging was that we had to try and find some of the answers to our question and find them on the internet!There were loads of websites but I got over it by just knowing other information,instead of answering the question.

Bright Butterflies
Wings


Butterflies have different colors on their wings such as,blue,green,purple yellow and many more.Their wings slant in the air like an airplane swiftly through the sky to find their food.

Nutrition


They don’t really eat that much food but,they feed on small puddles on the ground,on wet areas,and leaves and plants.Some people think that butterflies hurt people on purpose,but in real life,they just attack when they think they are threatened by something.


Respiration
These butterflies breathe through this type of part called a spiracle,a tiny hole.It is from something called exoskeleton.If they do not have enough food to feast on,they will die and won’t be able to have anymore babies.


Life


Some butterflies live for about a week or 2 but,some others live to 8-9 months because,the weather might not be rainy,and so their would not  be enough puddles so,they would have to find something
else to eat,and then the animal that is eating what the butterflies has to eat next,will have to find something else to feast on!


Group of butterflies
When butterflies are together and flying together,they are called a lepidoptera.Some times a group of butterflies can form different types of shapes like a flower,Star and many others.
