Today we will share with you some butterfly knowledge you don't know.

The life cycle of butterflies is short. Its life will go through four completely different forms. It develops from a butterfly egg to larvae, and then it will become pupae. After a while, it will eventually become the beautiful butterflies we usually see.

The short life of butterflies will not be very long. Although each variety is somewhat different, in general, the long life of butterflies will be half a year to one year. Some butterflies with short life may only survive for a few days.

The butterflies in tropical areas are relatively short. Female butterflies will die before the eggs are produced. The male butterfly can live for 20-30 days without mating, and life after completing the mating task will soon end.

Some butterflies have the habit of migrating. They will fly over hundreds of kilometers or even thousands of kilometers, and the butterfly life of these varieties will be relatively long.

The king Butterfly of the Americas is a long life span. In mid -September each year, hundreds of millions of kings butterflies start from the junction of the northeast United States and southern Canada.

They will spend more than 6 weeks on a long journey at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per day.

The flight distance of this road was nearly 4,500 kilometers. In the end, the kings of the Americas arrived in warm central Mexico to reproduce their offspring.

By the time around February-March, the king butterflies of this generation ended their lives. And their descendants will fly back to North America's habitat, thereby completing another migration cycle of this species.

In fact, butterflies do not collect pollen because pollen cannot provide energy and nutrition. It eats nectar secreted by the honey gland in the flower.

But when the butterfly collects nectar, it is close to the bottom of the flower, causing its body to contact the stamens, so that the pollen is dipped. The main purpose of butterflies is to collect nectar, and nectar is one of the main foods for butterflies.

But not all butterflies live by collecting pollen, and some butterflies are very similar to mosquitoes. They rely on blood-sucking to maintain nutrition!

So don't be deceived by the appearance of the butterfly, they will also cause harm to the human body because they will also absorb human blood.

In this group of butterflies, different types have their own unique colorful colors. At the same time, in different types and even gender, the combination of patterns will be different.

For butterflies, the color of the wings does not fade away with their death. It is for this reason that they have fascinated some researchers.

The cloud powder butterfly specimen captured in 1702 is the oldest specimen in the world, and its color has not decreased.

In fact, this is because the wings of the butterfly have permanent pigment or a structure that can produce a subtle surface that can interfere with the color. It is precise because of this factor that the color of the butterfly wings will never disappear.
