Butterflies Facts Kids Will Love
1. Butterflies taste with their feet! When a butterfly lands on a flower, it can actually taste if it’s good to eat just by standing on it. Pretty cool superpower, right?
2. They can’t fly if they’re too cold. Butterflies need to warm up their wing muscles in the sun before they can take off – just like how we need to stretch before exercising!
3. Butterflies see more colors than we do. While we see red, blue, and green, butterflies can also see ultraviolet colors that are completely invisible to human eyes.
4. Some butterflies migrate thousands of miles. Monarch butterflies travel all the way from Canada to Mexico every winter – that’s like flying across the entire country!
5. A group of butterflies is called a “flutter.” How perfect is that name? You might also hear people call them a “kaleidoscope” because of all their beautiful colors.
6. Butterflies smell with their antennae. Those cute little “horns” on their heads are actually super-sensitive smell detectors that help them find flowers and other butterflies.
7. They start life as caterpillars. Every beautiful butterfly was once a crawling caterpillar that built itself a cozy cocoon and completely transformed – talk about a amazing makeover!
