Butterflies and Moths

When a moth's wings are touched, tiny scales on the wings can be dislodged, which can affect the moth's ability to fly properly. This can disrupt their flight pattern and make it difficult for them to fly until the scales regenerate.

the previous answer was so far off... the butterfly effect or chaos theory is saying that everything happens as a result of something else that happened or a choice made an example would be... you wake up get ready go out and get shot.... if you woke up half an hour later would you have gotten shot? that's what the chaos theory explores...because you woke up at the time you did and left at the time you did you got shot often people confuse the shaos theory with having something to do with time travel but it has nothing to do with it at all.

Butterflies do not actively hunt for food. Instead, they primarily feed on nectar from flowers by using their long proboscis to suck up the nectar. They are mostly nectar feeders and feed on other liquids like rotting fruit juices and animal droppings for essential nutrients.

The cabbage white butterfly wings are typically white with black markings near the tips. The undersides of their wings are more pale and may have a yellowish tint.

a tube-like proboscis, which is a long, flexible "tongue."

A karner is a butterfly species, known as the Karner blue butterfly, that is native to North America. It is a small, endangered butterfly with distinctive silver-blue wings. The Karner blue butterfly is known for its specialized habitat requirements, relying on specific plants like wild lupine for survival.

Lepidoptera. Moths are also in this order.

Tussock moth caterpillars typically feed on various tree leaves, such as oak, willow, and birch. It's important to ensure that the caterpillar's diet consists of fresh leaves regularly to support its growth and development.

The eye spots on Luna moth wings help to deter predators by creating the illusion of being a larger or more intimidating creature. This can startle or confuse predators, giving the moth a chance to escape.

Yes, but with limitaions. The process is used mostly for studies of genetics and disease control in sericulture applications (silk worms). I am looking into this subject for an extended research application. Most of the work being done is in Japan and India.

The monarch butterfly migrates south by flying. It flaps its wings. Something in its brain is hardwired to the location it must go and the directions it must follow.

Monarch Butterfly larva must grow on milkweed. Other insects know where to lay their eggs so their young will grow on the proper food source. Aphids lay their eggs on maple trees. Milkweed will grow on land that was cleared during a winter storm. So, a Monarch would need to return from its winter quarters to a freshly cleared area of ground where Milkweed would sprout.

Monarchs then needed to spend the winter in a place where the temperatures were such that they could survive. They would not freeze, but their temperature would be low enough they would not use up all their food resources.

Then we can assume the ancestors of today's Monarchs began in the valleys of Mexico eating milkweed and other plants. Some ate more milkweed and flew to the top of the mountain and survived the winter. In spring they flew down to a milkweed patch and laid their eggs. Any birds that ate a milkweed fed caterpillar never ate another one. Some of those caterpillars turned into Monarchs that spent winter on the mountain. The process repeated. Soon Monarchs arose that ate only milkweed. They returned to the same mountain.

Any Monarch Butterflies that did not return to that ideal location for the winter either froze to death or used up all their food storage before they found another patch of milkweed where they could lay their eggs.

So today, Monarch Butterflies return to the ancestral location for the winter. In spring the males breed with the females and then the males die. The females find a new patch of milkweed, lay their eggs, and die. The new caterpillars will turn into monarchs that will fly north to find new patches of milkweed, breed, lay eggs, and die. Just before winter comes, the milkweed will die. The living monarchs will either return to their ancestral home where they can survive the winter or they will die without breeding.

Holly blue butterflies (Celastrina argiolus) are found in Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia. They prefer habitats with holly plants and other shrubs for breeding. The adults feed on various flowers for nectar.

The cocoon stage for a caterpillar to become a butterfly can vary in length by species. Some are in their cocoon for a few weeks to a month, while some have Pupa stages that can last for two years.

In some species of butterflies, males are larger than females, while in other species, females are larger. This variation is due to differences in mating behaviors and selection pressures influencing body size. Ultimately, each species has evolved its own specific size dimorphism.

In Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Portugese, Afrikaans, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Estonian, Finnish, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Swedish, and Turkish, the names for butterflies are mariposa, papillon, Schmetterling, farfalla, vlinder, borboleta, skoenlapper, leptir, motýl, sommerfugl, vlinder, liblikas, perhonan, lepke, fiðrildi, kupu-kupu, tauriņš, drugelis, rama-rama, sommerfugl, motyl, fluture, motýl, metulj, fjäril and kelebek respectively.

I have no information on Luna Lane being pregnant. It is important to respect individuals' privacy regarding personal matters like pregnancy.

Green butterflies are often seen as symbols of growth, renewal, and transformation. They can also represent hope, harmony, and balance in life. Seeing a green butterfly may be a sign to pay attention to your personal growth and embracing positive changes.

Three types of moths are silk moths, Luna moths, and Rosy Maple moths. Silk moths are known for producing silk, Luna moths have striking lime-green wings, and Rosy Maple moths are recognized by their pink and yellow colors.

There is no known butterfly species named Americana Exotica. Butterflies are typically classified under scientific names, so it may be that the common name you are referring to is different from its official scientific name.

Chordata is not something you "have." It is a way if classifying an animal. "Chordata" is a phylum in which vertebraes, urochodatas, and cephalochordates are put under (how they are classified).

If your question was meant to be "are butterflies chordates" then the answer is no. Butterflies are classified under the phylum "Arthropoda," not under the phylum Chordata.

Butterflies and moths belong to the taxonomic order,Lepidoptera. In Greek, Lepido means scales and Ptera means wings. In other words, Lepidoptera means scaly wings.

As the order name implies, the powder like materials found on the Butterfly wings are called scales.

Butterfly wings have two membranous layers which are made up of chitinous materials. Wings are nourished by a number of tubular veins which play a significant role in oxygen exchange.

Like all other insects,butterflies also have two pairs of wings, viz forewings and hind wings. The wing surfaces are generally covered with unicellular,setae(hair) like or flattened, overlapping scales. Scales are outgrowths of the body wall and they are of different colours.

There are two fundamental mechanisms by which colous are produced on butterfly wings. the ordinary colour, the first one, is due to the presence of chemical pigments, which absorb certain wavelengths of the light and transmit or reflect others.

The second colour, which is known as iridescent colour, is produced by the interference of light due to multiple reflections within the physical structure of a material and thus most of the butterflies exhibit brilliant iridescence on their wings.

The scales have different functions such as attracting the opposite sex for mating,warning the predators and hiding with the background of environment (camouflage).

Some male butterflies have scented scales on their forewings,which release the pheromones to attract their mates.

The Painted ladies eat nectar (of course) ,but if your thinking about raising a few up in a cage, listen to this. When the Painted Ladies are all in an adult form feed them surger water or Gatorade. Put them on your finger. Painted ladies are very friendly, and they love to take surger water and or Gatorade from childrens fingers. I have risen some up my self this is how and why i know alot about these creatures any questions contact me at Butterflysongcj101@yahoo.com

There is no record of the first butterfly being discovered. As a matter of fact, butterflies have been around far longer than humans. Humans have been on the earth for around 200,000 years, but butterflies have been around for 40 to 50 million years.
