Good Morning,
The butterfly is a pretty little insect that flutters about among the flowers on warm summer day. The moths come out mostly in the nights and fly about lamps and light blubs in the evening. The moths are very like the butterflies. Both belong to the same family of insects.
There are thousands of kinds of butterflies. They are small and large. Their are wings very beautifuls, they are of bright colours such as-: red,blue,green,yellow,white and black arranged in different patterns. Some people make it hobby to collect the butterflies. It is a very interesting and healthy pastime for one has to be always in the open air amidst trees and plants. They have to take long walks in the country.
Butterflies are caught in thin muslin nets tied to the long sticks. Since the colour on their wings could be easily rubbed off, they have to be handled very carefully and gently. But those who catch the butterflies, kill them and paste them with their wings spread. Though it is not a hobby, it is cruel since it puts an end to a life unnecessary.
Except the skill,worm,moth the moths and butterflies are not useful to man. But they give us pleasure with their beauty.
The butterflies do not work like bees nor they are intelligent like the ants. Their lives are short during which time they flutter around happily and beautifully from flower to flower. The butterfly may appear fluttering in the air with out any purpose. But the greatest creative work of nature is being carried inadvertently by the butterflies.
The butterfly by touching one flower and another is able to aid reproduction of plants and trees. Creation of the seeds of plants and trees are possible by crossing of the dust one flower to another. Before its short life is ended the butterfly lays its eggs on the leaves of a plants. But every kind oof butterfly will choose its own kind of plants. The eggs will hatch out after some weeks. But you will not find the butterflies but instead ugly worms with tiny legs called caterpillars. These caterpillars feed on the leaves and they do great damage to the gardens by eating of the plants.
After a few weeks,the caterpillars are fully grown up. Then start a long period laziness and sleep. The cater- pillar waves around itself what is known as cocoon. Within the protective walls of the cocoon the caterpillars goes to sleep.
During that period,the caterpillars loses iys many legs and ugliness. It busts out of the cocoon and flies away as a beautiful butterfly fluttering with multi coloured wings.
