Hello #BLURT Family. How are you all?
There is no match for the colorful butterflies in the beauty of nature. There are a lot of interesting and interesting facts about butterflies in the life cycle of just a few days, if not known which will probably fascinate you like the form of the insect. Tasting with the feet, drinking water from the mud or camouflage techniques for self-defense, etc., apart from the beauty of the life of the insect is very captivating. In today's program, I will briefly learn about butterflies, some interesting unknown facts, which will give you a fresh idea about the insect.
Butterflies have a special role to play in finding or taking food. These immaculate insects taste food through their feet. The receptor that tests the taste of food is in the butterfly's feet. Moreover, female butterflies move from one tree to another and hit certain parts of the tree with their feet. They then examine the sap of the tree through the foot's chemoreceptor. If it conforms to their set standards, they lay eggs there.
This is very important because after birth the butterfly larvae get the necessary food from this tree or the leaves of the tree. In this way, butterflies find the ideal place to feed or lay eggs through their feet. However, butterflies are not the only insects in nature that taste food through their feet. Crickets and locust taste receptors are also present in their legs.
#Relying #only #on #liquid #foods
Butterflies have no chewing gum, so they cannot eat solid food at all. They have a tube-like proboscis in their mouth, with which they can take only liquid food. Among the liquid foods, their main food is flower honey, but they also collect food from soft fruits or trees.
Interestingly, butterfly larvae or caterpillars have a chewing part called mandibles in their mouths, through which the larvae are able to eat solid food. Since they cannot go as far as butterflies and have to spend a great deal of time wherever they are born; Therefore, they survive by eating the leaves of the tree of birth in the early stages.
The most colorful insect in nature is the butterfly. Butterfly wings painted in various colors are the source of their original beauty. These colored wings are made up of a layer of a protein called chitin, which is extremely thin. Above the wings of this chitin are thousands of fibers, where we see hundreds of butterflies painted in light. When these fibers fall off with age, only the wings made of chitin remain. As you can see, these wings are very transparent and can be easily seen from one side to the other.
However, the coating of fibers on the transparent wings made of chitin is very important for butterflies. This is because they make the wings stronger and give balance to both sides. Butterflies usually lose some fiber during mating, feeding or flying. But, butterflies do not have much problem in flying. Since butterflies cannot make new fibers, if they lose too much fiber, it can be a serious threat to their lives.
#Life #is #only #a #few #weeks
Butterflies, considered part of the beauty of nature, do not usually live very long. The life of an adult butterfly is limited to only 1-2 weeks. There are four stages in the life cycle of a butterfly - egg, larva, pupa or chrysalis and becoming a butterfly.
Adult butterflies are found soon after being released from Crisalis. Butterflies then spend most of their energy on food and reproduction. Most butterflies survive only a week or two. There are, of course, a few species of butterflies that live for about 18 months.
#Drink #water #from #muddy #ponds
Butterflies that depend on liquid food alone cannot spend their entire lives eating honey. During extreme heat, people are seen drinking water from muddy ponds or wet sands, which are rich in minerals and meet their salt needs from here.
This feature of the butterfly is more noticeable in males than in females, which is known as poodling. It is thought that this mineral-rich water helps increase the ability of male butterflies to reproduce.
#Butterflies #cannot #fly #in #the #cold
Butterflies cannot generate the required temperature for themselves. Because, these are cold blooded insects. Therefore, the effect of the temperature of the surrounding environment on their life cycle is noticeable. As the temperature in the butterfly's habitat begins to drop, so does their body temperature, and at some point the wings will no longer be able to match.
They can fly at temperatures up to 60-106 degrees Fahrenheit. However, a temperature of 62-100 degrees Fahrenheit is considered ideal for butterflies. When they are unable to fly in extreme cold, they take refuge on rocks, trees or leaves. During this time they become easy targets for hunting.
Butterflies can't see very well from a distance of more than 10-12 feet, but they can see the ultraviolet rays that humans can't see. This butterfly sight plays a great role in important tasks like flower verification and mate selection for food collectionStudies have shown that butterflies have at least 15 different types of photoreceptors! Each receptor is stimulated in a different color.
As animals are at the bottom of the food chain, butterflies are on the food list of birds, spiders, lizards and many more. Butterflies are the biggest weapon to escape from hungry predators as there is no other powerful way to defend oneself. They can easily avoid the eye of the prey if they can determine the shelter by matching the color and pattern of the wings.
However, some butterflies again use the exact opposite technique of camouflage. They somehow proclaim their presence with very strong color designs. Some very colorful insects are poisonous and are avoided by predators, and some butterflies try to take advantage of this. Butterflies are not poisonous, but some of the wings of some butterflies are painted in the shape of a poisonous insect, which is very useful in self-defense.
