Butterfly
The wings, bodies, and legs, like those of moths, are covered with dustlike scalesthat come off when the animal is handled. Unlike moth,
butterflies are active during the day and are usually brightly coloured
or strikingly patterned. Perhaps the most distinctive physical features
of the butterfly are its club-tipped antennae and its habit of holding
the wings vertically over the back when at rest. The lepidopteran life
cycle has four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and
adult (imago). The larvae and adults of most butterflies feed on plants,
often only specific parts of specific types of plants.
