The Butterflies

Butterfly is the most picturesque and best known of all flying insects. These multi-colored magical insects are found everywhere in the world except for the continent of Antarctica, but the utmost number live in the tropical area.

'Butterfly'- this word comes from the old English word 'Buttorfleoge'. The striking and flimsy wings are really translucent. The sparkling scales that partly cover each other give the butterfly's wings the color that we see. Several butterflies and moths are bright and gray, brown or monotonously spotted fragments. Some butterflies have wings with the upper exterior covered with vivid scales and the under facade covered with dull brown ones. When of these butter flies is flying it seems like a bright flower. When it is inactive, it closes its wings and looks like a dead leaf. This helps defend it from foes.
