“Butterflies…flowers that fly and all but sing.”-Robert Frost
Butterflies are loved for their vibrant colours. They represent new beginnings and show that change can be beautiful. How do butterflies benefit from these striking, flamboyant colours?- As a defence against predators. Some butterflies like the Owl butterfly have large eyespots on their wings to make predators believe that they have come face to face with a much larger creature.
- Bold colours like red or orange send out a stark warning to predators. Some moths and butterflies consume poisonous plants in order to ward off predators.
- Fluttering, colourful and large wings make them attractive to a prospective mate.
A tryst with nature. #butterflyworld
