How does butterfly protects itself?

Butterflies have several means of protecting themselves. Firstly, some are very bright colours. Predators often assume that a bright colour means poisonous.

These eyes appear like larger scarier animals than the predator. This will often deter the predator from attacking.


What are the structural features of a Butterfly?

There are countless species of butterfly each with unique adaptations. Here are a few I can think of off of the top of my head. Their eyes are sensitive to certain frequencies unseen by human eyes that help them find flowers. Monarch caterpillars chew through the main veins of milkweed leaves so that they can eat the rest of the leaf without getting stuck in the milky latex. Adult monarchs (along with countless other species) are noxious or unpalatable topredators so they avoid getting eaten. Many butterflies mimic other butterflies that are noxious or unpalatable to predators to avoid being eaten. Some butterflies have patterns such as large "eye spots" that might scare a potential predator.
