The Cairns Birdwing Butterfly and it's caterpillar. These butterflies, although beautiful are, it seems, considered pests as they are competitive and attack other types of birdwings that are less common. They live along the North-east Coast of Australia.

There are about 15,000 to 20,000 kinds of butterflies. The largest butterfly is the Queen Alexandra's butterfly. Butterflies can be all kinds of colors and have different patterns. Some European butterflies are the color butter-yellow. Butterflies and moths put together make up a group called Lepidotera. Butterflies have slender, hairless bodies. Butterflies start off as eggs, then caterpillars, then a pupa, and finally as a butterfly. Most butterflies have a knob on their antennae. They eat different kinds of nectar.

Butterflies go wherever they please and please wherever they go. They are messengers of nature, not only adding brilliance to their surroundings but also pollinating flowers and revealing the healthiness of our communities. Historically, butterflies have been revered in art and lore but otherwise have been ignored. Today, however, we are beginning to realize the many benefits of these smaller wildlife forms.
The role of butterflies is important in our natural world. Their sheer n ...

BUTTERFLIES
There are 15000 species of butterflies.
Some butterflies have designs. One type of butterfly is called the 88 Butterfly. On its back wings, it has '88' written on it.
The world's largest butterfly is the Queen Alexandra's bird wing. The wingspan of the female measures up to 28cm (11 in). It is found in New Guinea.
Butterflies' and moth's wings are made of tiny scales. They overlap like tiles on a roof.
Monarch butterflies in North America can f ...

Origin of butterfly colors
Question: When the caterpillar comes out of the cocoon where does it
get it's color?

Answer:
Hilary,
Thanks for your question. The butterflies colors are caused by many
many colored scales on the insect's wings. If you have ever touched
a butterfly's or moth's wings, you may have seen a colored 'powder'
on your fingers. That 'powder' is actually colored scales which give
the wings their special color. Yo ...

Heliconid butterfly
This is better known as the passion flower butterfly.
They fly in groups and when it rains they all shelter together in the same shrub.
The leaves of the passion flower are poisonous to insects but the caterpillars of these butterflies have become resistant and use it to become poisonous themselves to deter predation by insect eaters.
"There may be as many as 300 different species of tree in 1 square kilometre."

Ever wonder where a butterfly comes from? It comes from a chrysalis (KRIS-uh-liss) which is also called a pupa. A chrysalis looks like a tiny leathery pouch. You can find one underneath some leaves in the summer.
