It's believed there's roughly
20,000 unique species
Of butterflies that are found globally
Most tend to have a short life
Span of approximately two to five
Weeks whilst a year's common for the brimstone butterfly
They are popular symbols for grace and beauty
Associated with love for centuries
They represent transformation and new beginnings
Though they can be hard to hold onto and fleeting
Butterflies taste with their feet
And use all food source as energy
Which means that they never need to excrete
Monarchs are poisonous
As they eat milkweed leaves as caterpillars
Which contain toxins that repel predators
Many people think that their proboscis is their tongue
But it's actually their mouth and this organ
Allows them to drink nectar from flowers and mud puddles
Which contain essential salts and minerals
Thanks to their compound eyes made up of 17,000
Mini eyes they can see ultra violet patterns
They can identify nine colours whereas human see three
Allowing them to detect pollen from flowers effectively
