Hello!


"A butterfly is an insect of the order Lepidoptera. Like all
holometabolous insects, butterflies' life cycle consists of four
parts, egg, larva, pupa and adult. Most species are diurnal. The
diverse patterns formed by their brightly coloured wings and their
erratic flight have made butterfly watching a hobby."

Thank you Toilet, or should I call you...John? *Anyhoo, have you
seriously considered the Human Influences upon the various
butterfly species? *For example-

Butterflies are influenced by humans in several other ways, too. When
a butterfly’s feeding plant is introduced into other areas, the
animal will follow. In draining swamps, destroying woods and other
natural living spaces we take away the butterflies’ basis of life.
Pushing back feeding plants also has consequences for butterflies.
Poisonous deposits from industry, households and traffic present
another danger. Pesticides and insecticides used by farmers not only
threaten butterflies but other animals and plants, too and
contaminate the water.

Many butterflies and other insects are run over every day in the
streets or puzzled by the lights of the cars.

However, humans are learning from their mistakes and do positive
things as well. Besides trying to save particular living spaces, more
and more attempts of reintroduction are made.

But there is still a whole lot more to do.

Yes, much, much, more to do!

Don't overlook the change in migration induced by global warming. For
the purists among you, butterflies are a fitting topic in rap -- they
fly. Bloss, the resident loser on line, on the other hand is not: he
doesn't. He does say "I rent", but that's a typo -- he rants.


LOL.
