Today, when taking a child for a walk in the community, I saw a silkworm moth, which was exhausted of oil and had been surrounded by ants and would be eaten as food at any time.

Moths and butterflies are the "double petites" of the order Lepidoptera, and when it comes to moths, people often have a pejorative meaning and a sad color.
When it comes to butterflies, people are mostly compliments.
The English name of the butterfly is Butterfly, and there are two versions of the legend:
The first legend: Butterflies are thieves who love to steal cream and milk.
The second legend: There is a butterfly with orange-yellow wings that flies with a creamy light.
I prefer the second explanation.
Indonesian national butterfly ~ green bird wing butterfly
Peruvian national butterfly ~ goddess of light flash butterfly
The distinction between butterflies and moths is quite simple.

Of course, all the rules are special, and there are always some strange babies that don't meet the standards, because the family of butterflies and moths is very large.
Today Mulan will talk about the beautiful and elegant butterfly family.
There are about 20,000 kinds of butterflies in the world, and about 2,000 kinds of butterflies in China, and each butterfly's wings have their own unique colors and patterns, some of which are gorgeous in color and some are fresh and elegant. The size of the wings varies, with larger wings reaching about 28 to 30 cm and smaller wings only about 0.7 cm.
Butterfly wings are not only a powerful tool for flying, but also have many magical effects.
For example, modality, in technical terms, is mimesis.
When you stop, you will be like the dead leaves of autumn, and you will change your color and form with the seasons.
There are owl-like markings, and when the enemy comes, it lights up a terrifying eye to scare off predators.
Some are more magical, with wings that are transparent and look like glass, allowing them to easily hide from predators.

Adult butterflies are beautiful and noble, but not just born like this, butterflies are completely perverted insects, a lifetime to go through four different periods, quiet egg stage, gluttonous larval stage (that is, we call caterpillar), fragile pupae, beautiful adult stage. After feathering, it can be regarded as real growth, which is also what people often call breaking the cocoon into a butterfly.
When I was a child, caterpillars looked weird and liked to eat a lot of plants destructively everywhere, and that was no way to do it, because it needed to grow up, it needed to survive, it had to eat, it had to eat, it had to eat.
People actually hate butterflies when they are young, preferring to be in an adult state, using a large bubble roll-like siphon mouthpiece, sucking nectar, dancing, and playing with flowers. More able to find a partner, amphibious.
In order to find a sympathetic partner, gentlemen must perform several dances of love to the ladies, and this dance step varies from butterfly to butterfly.
If the lady can't look at it or don't like it, she will raise her abdomen high and say "bye-bye."
If the lady is in love and meets, she will... Uh, naturally, logically.
However, giving birth to a baby must also have "art", butterfly mothers in order not to lose on the starting line for their babies, can also be described as painstaking, painstaking.

Of course, giving birth to such a beautiful baby, the natural world is not only in addition to the butterfly mother who loves beauty, but also some unusual, teasing mothers with unlimited potential, this next time to share!
