BUTTERFLIES

Butterflies are flying insects with large scaly wings. Like all insects, they have six jointed
legs, three body parts, a pair of antennae, compound eyes and exoskeleton. The three body parts are

the head, the thorax and the abdomen. They usually drink nectars from flowers as their food source.
Most butterflies have taste receptors on their feet.
I can say that butterflies are attractive and harmless insects. I think these insects are nature's
most beautiful creatures. I love their different colors. Scientists believe there are about 24,000
different species of butterflies. Butterflies seem to be very amazing insects.
