A butterfly pumps its wings to help regulate its body temperature and prepare for flight. By expanding and contracting its wings, it can warm up the muscles needed for flying, as they are ectothermic and rely on external heat sources. Additionally, wing movement aids in drying off after emerging from the chrysalis, ensuring optimal flight capability. This behavior is essential for their survival and mobility in their environment.
