Butterflies are beautiful, colorful insects that you can find in gardens, meadows, and forests. They are known for their delicate wings and the way they flutter through the air.

Butterflies are flying insects with two pairs of large, often brightly colored wings. They are part of a group of insects called Lepidoptera, which also includes moths.

A butterfly's life starts as an egg, which a mommy butterfly lays on leaves or stems. After some time, a tiny worm-like creature called a caterpillar hatches from the egg.

Butterflies have two pairs of wings covered in tiny scales that give them their bright colors and patterns. These patterns are unique to each species and can be used to identify different types of butterflies.

Butterflies are famous for their graceful flight. They use their wings to fly from flower to flower, collecting nectar, which is a sweet liquid that butterflies love to eat.
