Butterflies have several means of protecting themselves.

Firstly, some are very bright colours. Predators often assume that a bright colour means poisonous. The predator will leave brightly colour prey alone, rather than risk being poisoned.

Secondly, a lot of butterflies have what look like eyes on their wings. These eyes appear like larger scarier animals than the predator. This will often deter the predator from attacking.
