Butterfly

Butterflies are beautiful, flying insects with large scaly wings. Like all insects, they have six
legs, three body parts, a pair of antennae, and compound eyes. The three body parts are the
head, thorax (the chest), and abdomen (the tail end). The four wings and the six legs of the
butterfly are connected to the thorax. The thorax contains the muscles that make the legs
and wings move.
Butterflies are very good fliers. They have two pairs, of large wings covered with colorful
scales. Butterflies and moths are the only insects that have scaly wings. The wings are
connected to the butterflys thorax (mid-section). Butterflies can only fly if their body
temperature is above 27 degrees Centigrade. Butterflies sun themselves to warm up in cool
weather. As butterflies get older, the color of the wings fades and the wings become ragged.
The speed varies among butterfly species (the poisonous varieties are slower than
nonpoisonous varieties). The fastest butterflies can fly at about 50 kilometers per hour (kph)
or faster. Slow flying butterflies fly about 8 kph.
