Butterflies and Moths

Ants are typically small insects with a segmented body and six legs, while butterflies are larger insects with colorful wings. Ants live in colonies and are known for their social behavior, while butterflies undergo metamorphosis from a caterpillar to a pupa before emerging as a butterfly.

There is no king, but social insects (ants, termites, and bees) have a queen. She is fertilized by a male, called a drone, and he is the only male in the society.

No. There are several other very similar crescents on the west coast though, like field crescents and mylitta crescents.

Cassia/Senna plants are the plants they seek first, to lay eggs. Their caterpillars eat the leaves and blooms of these plants. For flower nectar, they often choose plants with red and/or purple blooms.

Butterflies molt while in the caterpillar stage. Caterpillars eat all the time and grow quickly. Each time their exoskeleton gets too tight, they molt. They go through this process 4 to 5 times.

Pet butterflies commonly feed on a diet of sweet liquids like nectar, fruit juice, or honey. They also require water, which they can obtain from damp soil or a shallow container with a wet sponge. Some species may feed on rotting fruit or animal droppings in the wild.

brassicas are vegatables such as; broccoli, brussel sprouts, lettuce, cabbages, red cabbage and many many more they are very good for you and can help prevent ilnneses such as cancer! and contain alot of vitamins and iron. i hope this has helped (:

The wingspan of an emperor gum moth can range from 10 to 15 centimeters (4 to 6 inches) when fully grown. It is one of the largest moths found in Australia.

To get rid of moths in the bathroom, start by removing any sources of moisture such as damp towels or bathmats where they may be breeding. Vacuum and clean the space regularly to eliminate eggs and larvae. Consider using moth traps or natural repellents like lavender sachets to deter moths from returning.

The enemies of a Blue Morpho Butterfly include birds, spiders, and other predatory insects that may prey on their eggs, caterpillars, or adult butterflies. Additionally, habitat destruction and climate change are also threats to their survival.

In their larval form, umber moths feed on a wide variety of trees, including oak, maple, birch, chestnut and elm.

Sphinx moth caterpillars burrow underground while they are turning from a caterpillar to a moth. They should have access to fresh leaves daily while in caterpillar form, and the cage should be spritzed with water every other day. Once the caterpillar turns into a moth, it should be set free.

When butterflies drink nectar from a flower, they get pollen on themselves which is scattered onto flowers. Pollination is essential to flowers bearing seeds, and flowers are "designed" to distribute pollen through luring insects (bees, butterflies) with their nectar.

Butterflies typically feed by sipping nectar from flowers through a long, straw-like tube called a proboscis. They insert the proboscis into the flower to access the nectar, which serves as their main source of food and energy. Some butterflies also feed on other sources like rotting fruits, tree sap, and minerals found in mud.

no they just eat blood and then go into lamps to die! Oh and please pat attention to Chinese Fur Farms! They are dreadful! Please find a website and donate money to STOP them! Please help make a difference......................................thx!

The blue morpho butterfly belongs to the arthropoda group. There are 29 species of the morpho butterfly and 150 subspecies in which the blue morpho is just one. They are found in South America, Mexico and Central America.

The Comet Moth, also known as the Madagascan Moon Moth, is found in the forests of Madagascar. Its natural habitat consists of humid rainforests where it can feed on the leaves of certain trees such as the castor oil plant.

Very few types of butterflies hibernate. Most of them just die off in the winter, leaving their eggs to hatch and start a new generation the next year. The monarch is the one species that migrates southward for the winter. Only the tortoiseshells, mourning cloak, and a few anglewings actually "hibernate" as adult butterflies and come back out in the spring.

The life span of a cecropia moth is about 2-3 weeks depending on the area you live in or how much the larvae got in its younger life.

The coiled tube found in butterflies is called a proboscis. It is a specialized mouthpart that allows butterflies to extract nectar from flowers for feeding. The proboscis can coil and uncoil, enabling the butterfly to reach deep into flowers to access the nectar.

No, the Common Blue butterfly is not extinct. It is a widespread species found throughout Europe and parts of Asia. However, its populations are declining due to habitat loss and climate change.

It depends on what you mean by "dormant". The pupae are in a state of rest which could be considered dormancy while they metamorphose into adults inside their cocoons. The last generation of Luna moths each summer may pupate in fall and lie dormant during the winter inside their cocoons, and emerge in spring. Hope that helps.

The melanic form of the peppered moth is darker in coloration compared to the typical light-colored form. This dark coloration is a result of a genetic mutation that causes an increase in the production of melanin pigments in the moth's wings. The melanic form of the peppered moth became more prevalent in polluted areas during the industrial revolution due to its increased camouflage on darkened tree trunks.

Yes, the rattletrap moth is protected from predators by sequestering toxic chemicals from the plants it consumes. This toxic chemical makes the moth unpalatable to predators.
