Butterfly wings can be replaced.

Butterflies cannot feel if there’s damage to their wings. They only experience difficulty in flying, but there is no physical pain involved. Watch this video of a woman replacing a part of a butterfly’s wings.

#didyouknow Butterflies have a long, tube-like tongue called a proboscis that allows them to soak up their food rather than sip it ! 🦋

Another Interesting Facts About Butterflies You Didn’t Know, is that their mouth or proboscis is modified for consuming liquids. Think of them like a straw. Butterflies usually feed on nectar. However, sometimes they drink from mud puddles or even human sweat to get the minerals and nutrients they need. 

 

Butterfly wings are transparent.

This might be confusing, but a butterfly’s wings are transparent. You might ask, “if they’re transparent, what makes them colorful?” A butterfly’s wings are covered by a plethora of tiny scales that reflect light in different colors. Older butterflies have more transparent wings because they shed the scales throughout their lives.

 

Butterflies can’t fly if they’re cold.

Butterflies cannot regulate their body temperature, being cold-blooded animals. A change in the temperature of the surroundings can alter their ability to fly. An environmental temperature below 12 degrees Celsius, a butterfly, can be rendered immobile.
