Did you know that real butterfly wings are like glass? Well, sort of....
butterflies' wings are actually transparent...
The iridescent scales, which overlap like shingles on a roof, give the
wings the colors that we see. Did you also know that they can see red,
green, and yellow?
Contrary to popular belief, many butterflies can be held gently by the
wings without harming the butterfly. Of course, some are more fragile
than others, and are easily damaged if not handled very gently. |
