Butterflies and Moths

Not intentionally... Butterflies normally lay eggs on or around their host plants, and no butterfly larve feeds on clothing. I'm sure it would be possible for a butterfly to drop an egg or two on clothing, but that would not be a normal occurrence.

It depends upon the species of hummingbird.

A Ruby-throated hummingbird would have a wingspan of 3-4 inches.

The smallest, a Bee Hummingbird is about 2.5 inches.

The largest, a Giant Hummingbird is about 8.5 inches.

The average seems to be about 4 inches

An agronomist studies plant genetics, soil management, crop production techniques, and the interactions between plants and their environment. They work to improve agricultural practices to optimize crop yields, protect natural resources, and sustainably meet food production demands.

It means that the hummingbird has chosen you as its protector because of your superior moral character. You must catch the hummingbird, pet it, kiss it, and keep it from evil for as long as you live. However, if the hummingbird should die before you, or you did not catch and kiss it, you will be doomed to a cursed life.

Butterfly conservation is an umbrella term describing the work of a variety of organizations worldwide that seek to assist in research, species recovery efforts, and public education toward the goal of preserving at-risk butterfly species in the wild. Such organizations exist in many countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States. Often these groups work in conjunction with other organizations, including nonprofits, scientific institutions, and national agencies.

Endangered or imperiled butterflies face a variety of threats. The problems facing butterfly populations can include the reduction of breeding or habitation sites because of deforestation, development, or natural disasters. Other factors that threaten some varieties of butterfliesinclude pesticide use, non-native predators, diseases, and loss of plant species that typically host butterfly larvae. Butterfly conservation efforts seek to lessen the impact of these threats on specific butterfly species.

An effective species recovery plan requires detailed information about the needs of specific butterfly populations. For some species, sufficient amounts of data are not yet available for the creation of a thorough recovery plan. Some butterfly conservation organizations seek to help fill in the information gaps by providing support for the gathering of research data on specific types of at-risk butterflies.

There is at least one spitting moth, which I have been unable to identify by name. I have it in a speciment jar, for inspection. At approximately 10.00 p.m., 13 July 2009, i tspat a grey milky cloud of droplets over my wife. The droplets did not irritate, or seem toxic in any way. The circumatnces of the spitting were that the moth had flown into our dining room and had gone directly to the ceiling lights. It seem to react aggressively to my wife's attempt to shoo" it back out the door. I used a fairly large polythene container to trap it, using the bulk of the box to defend against further sprays. I have it now in a glass jar. Evry time I approach it it becomes very agitated. The colouration is plain pale grey/brown, with a central rear russet triangle to the upper side of the wings. The lower side is also plain with a ragged dark grey transverse line running from wing edge to wing edge at the rear of the wings. The dimensions are: wingspan, extended, approximately 20-25mm. Length approx. 15-20mm.

Groups of butterflies are called a few different things, depending on your part of the world, and whether you believe that moths are butterflies. Groups are often called a rabble, a swarm, or, like you asked, a Kaleidoscope.

Butterflies belong to the order Lepidoptera, which includes insects with large, often colorful wings covered in tiny scales. They are found in various habitats worldwide, with many species preferring warm, sunny environments such as meadows, gardens, and tropical forests. Butterflies undergo a complete metamorphosis, starting as eggs, then developing into caterpillars, pupae, and finally emerging as adults.

It depends on the moth! Some moths do not eat anything as they do not have 'mouth parts.'

Moths are not typically consumed as food, so there is limited information on what they taste like. In general, insects like moths may have a nutty or earthy flavor due to their diet and digestive system, but this can vary depending on the specific species.

Butterflies do not lay eggs directly on mint plants. They typically prefer to lay their eggs on specific host plants that caterpillars will feed on once they hatch. However, butterflies may still visit mint plants for nectar and as a food source.

Butterflies do not have bones. They have an exoskeleton made up of a hard substance called chitin that provides structure and support for their bodies. This exoskeleton is covered by their colorful wings, made up of delicate scales.

Butterflies mainly feed on nectar from flowers, using a long tube-like mouthpart called a proboscis to suck up the liquid. Some butterflies also feed on other sources such as fruit juices, animal dung, and minerals from mud.

You can keep a butterfly alive during the winter months as long as it is kept inside in warm temperatures. They are not able to regulate their body temperatures and this is why they usually die once it gets colder outside.

If a moth's wing is broken, there isn't much that can be done to repair it. Insects rely heavily on their wings for survival, so a broken wing can greatly impact their ability to fly and find food. In this case, providing a safe place with food and water for the moth to rest and recover may be the best course of action.

There are kind of food that butterflies commonly eat are tree sap, nectar from flowers, dung, rotting fruits and so many more. The mode of feeding is facilitate by the proboscis which allows the butterfly to suck foods which are in form of liquids.

Viceroy butterflies are not poisonous, but they look just like poisonous monarch butterflies.

A butterfly might say, "Fluttering through life in search of nectar and beauty. Embracing change and transformation with grace and lightness."

Butterflies consume flower nectar, and occasionally supplemental water (and sodium from salt, even from human sweat). But their wings are so light and delicate that they will not function if wet (as when they first emerge from the pupal stage). Fortunately, most wing tissue sheds liquids such as rain.

When butterflies hatch from their chrysalis, they need to pump fluid into their wings to allow them to expand and dry properly. Sometimes during this process, a small amount of hemolymph (insect blood) may leak out as they establish circulation in their wings, giving the appearance of bleeding. This fluid leakage is a normal part of the butterfly's post-emergence process.

Love, life, beauty, simple wonderous existinces

Put 1 teaspoon sugar and 19 spoonfuls of water (a common eating spoon) in a small bowl mix it &let it dissolve. Then get a tiny piece of cloth, that you can use only for your butterfly,

and soak it in the sugar water. Set the butterfly near it.

Butterflies are typically active during the day, feeding on nectar, mating, and flying around to find food and lay eggs. At night, most butterflies rest by perching on branches or leaves, with some species hiding in shelters to avoid predators. They are diurnal creatures, meaning they are most active during daylight hours.
