That is true.
Butterflies have a short life span because of many things that hinder their life span. We as human begins affect the life span of butterflies, many times we accidentally kill them. Also, there are many different diseases that kills butterflies, and then there are other animals that prey on butterflies.
Butterflies are beautiful creatures. The sight if them flying freely is very beautiful, but it is wrong to capture them for display. Butterflies are living things. They don't deserve to be captured. They deserve compassion and deserve to live out its life in natural way .

Having a short life span makes insects more resistant to extinction as a species. It allows them to focus on reproduction.
Well ... Now you can know why and how butterflies are beautiful.
Insects can feed on leaves. It depends on the species and life stage of the insect. For example, caterpillars (butterfly larvae) feed on leaves, but the adult butterflies feed on nectar and will not eat leaves.
Butterflies and moths belong to the family Lepidoptera. These insects are characterized by their large wings covered in scales and undergo a complete metamorphosis during their life cycle, transitioning from caterpillar to adult.
That is the correct spelling of "pupa" (a metamorphic stage in insects).
A caterpillar is a baby butterfly. So it is an immature insect that will eventually metamorphasize into a conventional insect with the requisite 6 legs.
