Can a butterfly live without his head?

Answer 1

obviously not. it contains most of its digestive tract and organs.

remember when i was younger i used to take them by the wings and rip off their tails...it'll fly for nearly a minute before falling down. kinda like a helicopter really

Answer 2

No, as the tail holds all its internal organs. The head holds only the brain, eyes and mouthparts, the thorax pretty much only muscles to power the legs and wings, and the abdomen ('tail') everything else; stomach, long heart, reproductive organs... also it wouldn't be balanced or aerodynamic without the abdomen.

Answer 3

Any damage apart from the loss of a leg ,antenna or wing is fatal to an insect

Answer 4

The center of a butterfly's nervous system is the sub esophageal ganglion and is located in the insect's thorax, not its head.So it can live even its head is removed.
