The queens and workers can but their sting does not have barbs like a the honeybee, so they can sting more than once. Male's cant sting because they don't have a stinger. Males have a genital capsule for mating.

Are butterflies dangerous?

this question doesn't make any sense.


what butterflies at a butterfly park is 8:4. The ratio of South American butterflies to European butterflies is 4:2. There are 64 North American butterflies at the butterfly park. How many butterflies are there?

There are 128 butterflies in total at the butterfly park. This is calculated based on the ratio of 8:4 for North American butterflies, which means for every 8 North American butterflies, there are 4 South American butterflies. Given there are 64 North American butterflies, the total number is doubled to include South American butterflies in a 1:2 ratio to European butterflies.

Are butterflies poisonous are any poisonous if they are which are poisonous if one is poisonous how does it poison you?

Let's make a distinction here between "venomous" and "toxic."Some butterflies are toxic: if you eat them, they'll poison you. In many cases, this is because when the butterfly was a caterpillar, it ate a plant that contained a poison and stored the poison up in its body. The monarch butterfly is one example: monarch caterpillars love milkweed, many species of which contain cardiac glycosides that disrupt the functioning of the heart.However, no butterflies are venomous: they can't bite or sting you and inject poison (I'm not aware of any butterflies that can bite at all).As long as you're not eating them, they're pretty harmless.


Butterflies are the same size of what?

Butterflies can vary in size depending on the species. Some butterflies can be as small as a fingernail while others can have a wingspan of up to 12 inches.
