Butterflies are Strange

by: Valansea

Butterflies are strange creatures and wonderful flyers.   There are  lots  of weird facts about these insects.

Butterflies use their round knobs at the end of their antennae to smell with. They breathe with little holes which are called spiracles. Did you know butterflies have green blood and are cold blooded creatures? They have the same temperature as the air all around them. Most butterflies have six legs but the monarch butterfly has four legs. As the weather gets cold butterflies can’t fly unless the sun comes out or warm them up to fly. Wow,  butterflies’ wings are covered with little  tiny coloured scales that overlap like tiles on top of a house. Their brightly coloured wings warn others not to eat butterflies because they  taste bad.
