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 numbers supply a vast food source for predators, and they are significant plant pollinators. If plants are not pollinated, seeds and fruits are not produced. With their acute sensitivity to pesticides and toxins, their presence, diversity and relative abundance indicate the overall well-being of our eco Read More Go to Site Butterflies Votes:0 M o r p h o B u t t e r f l i e s The morpho is a large butterfly with brilliant, shimmering blue wings. Pilots flying over the Amazon can observe their shining wings fluttering below in the canopy. The morphos? brilliant color assists in attracting mates, but also makes them noticeable to predators, especially in sunlight. However, morphos are quick, agile fliers and are difficult to catch, and they seem to disappear when they enter shade. Blue morphos can mask their signature iridescence by just closing their wings. Morphos also use camouflage to blend in with their surroundings: below their blue brilliance, their undersides are the colors of leaves and bark. Morphos spend much of their time in the forest canopy, often found around streams and sunlit areas. Adults feed on nectar and ferm Read More Go to Site Butterflies Votes:0 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 fly 6000km (3750 miles). A clouded yellow butterfly comes in to land on a thistle. Butterfly flight is more controlled, than it looks. The insect is able to change course instantly and make sudden landings. Butterflies feed through a tube called a proboscis. When the proboscis not in use it is all coiled up.

Larva Stage The egg hatches and the larva (caterpillar) comes out. Pupa Stage The caterpillar feeds on the plant and grows. When its skin becomes too small, the old skin splits open and the caterpillar pops out with a new skin on. This happens four or five times. When the caterpillar is fully grown it makes a little silk pad on a leaf or twig and attaches itself to it. The caterpillar's skin splits for the last time. It is now in the pupa stage. Under the skin is the chrysalis. Many changes happen to the chrysalis. The wings, legs and rest of the butterfly are formed inside the chrysalis.

It is famous for its beauty and especially for its travels. Monarchs, like many birds, fly south for the winter. Some travel as far as 2000 miles to warm wintering grounds. Their migration begins in August or September. They travel by day and stop occasionally, every few days, to feed. They often travel as far as 80 miles in a single day. They follow the same routes and land in the same areas as millions and millions of monarchs before them even though most of them never made the trip before. Monarchs from the western part of North America gather in California along the Pacific coast and in central Mexico.

It is one of the few butterflies that migrates. The butterflies that travel south in the fall overwinter in the south. They may reproduce in the southern wintering grounds or enroute to the North in the spring. The butterflies you see in the summer at Fermilab are not the same individuals that left there the preceeding fall, but their offspring. Two or more summer generations may be produced in the North and then the fall generation returns to the same wintering grounds even though it is three or more generations removed from that of the previous winter. The principle wintering grounds are in Mexico, but some monarchs overwinter in Florida, Cuba Read More Go to Site Monarch Lab - Monarchs in the Classroom - University of Minnesota Votes:0 Welcome to the Monarch Lab website!

Monarch butterflies are the long- ranging kings of insect migration. In spring, they fly from winter refuges on a few mountaintops in Mexico. In fall, their descendants somehow find the same isolated mountains, where they huddle by the millions in a massive mingling of insects.

Monarchs are known for their lengthy migrations, but most common species stay home through the bitter cold. A few, like mourning cloaks, hibernate as adults in log piles or under loose tree bark. But most spend the winter in an immature life stage: egg, caterpillar, or pupa. The majority spends the season as chrysalises, also known as butterfly pupae. For example, black swallowtails may have several generations per year, with the pupal stage (shown here) lasting two to three weeks in spring and summer. But those that transform in fall will most likely spend the winter in their camouflaged chrysalis. back to Nature Notebook Home What's New?

Hilary 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. You might ask your teacher, in spring when butterflies again are flying, to catch one and use a cotton swab to remove some of the scales and put them on a microscope slide.

It is an insect belonging to the suborder Rhopalocera. It is also a member of the Thistle Butterfly family and have a wingspan of 2.5-3.2 cm (2-2.3 inches). Dark brown, and pretty orange, yellow and white spots on wings are characteristic of this family. Other common species include: Red Admiral, West Coast Lady and American Painted Lady. Butterflies undergo complete metamorphosis, which means they have four distinct stages in their life: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis) and adult butterfly. Painted ladies, like all butterflies, use their proboscis to drink nectar from flowers.

The red admirals that are born during the winter are smaller and duller, while the ones that live during the summer are largerand brighter. Their wing span is from 1 3/4 - 3 inches (4.5 - 7.6 cm). Life history: The red admiral has a very erratic, rapid flight.Males perch, on ridgetops if they can, in the afternoon to waitfor females, who lay eggs one at a time on the tops of host plantleaves. Young caterpillars eat and live inside a shelter offolded leaves, while older caterpillars make a nest of leaves tiedtogether with silk.

The Texas State Insect: Monarch Butterfly (photo by Gary Musgrave, Abilene, TX; courtesy office of Representative Wohlgemuth) The Monarch Butterfly became the Texas state insect by a 1995 resolution of the state legislature. The resolution was introduced by Representative Arlene Wohlgemuth on behalf of students in her district. The Monarch is unique among butterflies in that it is the only species of butterfly that does not hibernate, but migrates in changing seasons. It undergoes four changes in form (metamorphoses) during its lifetime: It begins as a tiny egg. In the second stage it becomes a black, yellow and white striped caterpillar (larva). During this stage, the caterpillar sheds its skin (molts) up to four times as it grows to its full length of about two inches.

These beautiful butterflies are captured to be framed and sold as collector's items and are often the study of iridescence and electro-magnetic resonance studies in physics because of the way the light reflects off their beautifully colored wings. These butterflies are daytime travelers, which makes seeing one of them even more spectacular, as the sun reflects the blues, greens and reds of the wings.

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. Some animals don't change much as they grow up. Think about it: someone your age looks a lot like a grown-up. Grown-ups have more wrinkles and gray hair. But they still have two arms, two legs and one head—just like you. We're going to meet an animal that's very different—the butterfly.

Butterflies help the plants in the garden by carrying pollen from one flower to another. The pollen is needed by the flowers so they can make seeds. Many different types of butterflies visit gardens. You may see yellow, white, blue, orange, brown and red ones. Some have lovely patterns on their wings. The Peacock butterfly is red with big 'eyes' on its wings.
