<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" >1: What is the use of the pattern on the butterfly's wings? </h1>
In order to escape the enemy's attack, the pattern on the butterfly's wings is mainly to better camouflage and thus escape the enemy's attack. For example, many butterflies have eye-like spots on their wings, which can make birds fly away in fear.
In addition, the pattern on the butterfly's wings can also serve as a signal to convey information between companions.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="32" >2: Why do butterflies like to fly around in flowers? </h1>
Butterflies like to fly around in the flowers, not because the flowers are beautiful, but because there is nectar in the flowers, which is the butterfly's favorite food. There's also another reason to attract butterflies to the flowers, which is to prepare food for their offspring. Most of the butterflies' eggs are laid on flowering plants, so that when the eggs develop into caterpillars, they can immediately suck the sweet nectar.
Don't think that butterflies are harming the flowers by doing this, they can also help the flowers to pollinate and fertilize while sucking nectar.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" >3: Why do moths like to whirling around the lights? </h1>
Moths' penchant for hovering around the lights is a manifestation of insect phototropism. When moths and other insects fly at night, they rely on moonlight to determine the direction. However, when encountering lights that are much brighter than the moonlight, the moth will be attracted by these lights to fly closer to the lights. Since the moth's two eyes do not feel the brightness of the light differently, they will constantly fly to places where the light is stronger. And because the moon is very far away from the earth, as long as the moth maintains a fixed angle with the moon, it can make itself fly in a fixed direction. But the light is very close to the moth, the moth will instinctively maintain a fixed angle with the light source to fly around, and sometimes there will be a situation of "moth fighting fire".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="34" >4: Are butterflies and moths the same insect? </h1>
Butterflies and moths, though similar in appearance, are not actually the same insect. Their body structure and life habits are very different. First, butterflies usually fly during the day, while moths prefer to move at night. Butterflies are slender, and moths are plump and hairy. Butterfly pupae are bare, and moth pupae are usually wrapped in soft, smooth cocoons or buried in the ground to pupate. In addition, butterflies have huge compound eyes that can see in all directions without turning their heads, while moths do not have this feature. Also, the antennae of butterflies are mallet-shaped, while the antennae of moths have a variety of shapes.
