BUTTERFLY MENU
Butterflies are flying insects known for having large wings covered in tiny scales They belong to the order Lepidoptera and undergo complete metamorphosis, transforming from egg to larva (caterpillar) to pupa (chrysalis) to adult. Adults feed on nectar using a long proboscis performing an important role as pollinators.
Do you know? A butterfly has taste buds on its proboscis and antennae but the majority are located on the feet. These check leaves before eggs are laid helping to ensure that when their larvae emerge they will be on a suitable food plant.
