Hello all.... Good afternoon !!!
The butterfly is one of the creatures that is very beautiful and enchanting when it flaps its wings, its physical beauty makes everyone love it, both children and adults.
From the results of research conducted by some experts there are about 20,000 types of butterflies scattered in all corners of the world. Then in the territory of Indonesia there are about 2500 types of butterflies. While in the territory of the country of Brazil which has a diversity of different butterfly patterns around 3000 species. So in this case making Indonesia one of the paradise for butterfly lovers and an area for researchers.
Because butterflies have a variety of species and patterns and colors, many experts observe these animals in their own way. Then from the results of his observations there are several facts that make butterflies increasingly known by some people. So in this case some facts about butterflies will be mentioned below.
Do not have a normal mouth
Experts say that butterflies do not have a non-verbal mouth like other animals. Then how can he live because he can not chew like hwwan cloth. Adult butterflies have an elongated shape like a straw or a fine needle, so this tool is called a proboscis that looks like a proboscis or needle. Thus the butterfly cannot chew but it can only eat liquid from flowers and from liquid mud or liquid from rotted fruit. Butterflies cannot chew something as dense as leaves when they are in the caterpillar phase in the change phase.
His feet as a touch tool
Butterflies also have legs like other animals, if other insect species function as a footing device in a place, then the butterflies function as a means of detecting something and also as a beachhead. The feet of the butterfly are used to feel something in their daily activities.
For generations, butterflies use their feet to find food in detecting trees to lay eggs later on. The technique is like doing friction with the leaves or stems of plants so that fine liquid will come out. Then the chemoreceptor organ in the hind legs will detect whether the tree is suitable for eggs or not,this will always be accurate in its search. So this is what makes us often see the same caterpillar in certain trees in our daily environment.
Besides feet there are also other things that exist in the characteristics of butterflies. But this will be mentioned in a future post. Thank you very much.
