To fly, butterflies depend on the sun's energy, captured by their wings.
They can see in a radius of 360 degrees. Your eyes are made up of 12,000 small parts, which generate images in every way. They can also see ultraviolet rays, imperceptible to the human eye. As for colors, they see red, green and yellow.
Their colors serve as a kind of identity card. It is through them that other insects know the sex of butterflies and ______ which family they belong to.
They have a very short life. Some species live only a month. The longest some can live is a year.
