Why are butterflies becoming extinct?

Answer 1

They don't die from laying eggs, but from an evolutionary standpoint, there is no reason for a species to live past an age when it can reproduce. Almost every species on the planet dies at about the age when it can no longer reproduce, butterflies included. Humans have artificially extended our lives with modern medicine, making us one of the few exceptions to this rule. (thank God for that!) :)

Answer 2

because, like crickets, they get brainwashed by parasite hair worms, which is inside them, so they commit suicide.(i know i wrote the exact same thing for moths, but they're not in the same category so ya)

Answer 3

they may be eaten by a big hungry bear named fluffy, or get stopped on by a hippo.

Answer 4

Because that is life.....everything dies eventually :(

Answer 5

All creatures die eventually, they live their life span, and die.
