According to a legend, by whisper a wish and giving the butterfly its freedom, the wish will be taken to the heavens and be granted. Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all...
People have been fascinated with butterflies for thousands of years. Butterflies have been a symbol of beauty and called "flying flowers".
We love butterflies and had gathered some strange Butterfly Facts to share with you:
- Worldwide, there are over 25,000 species of butterflies.
- Butterflies taste with their feet. Their feet are actually tiny receptors which allow them to "taste" the food that they are standing on.
- Butterfly wings are transparent. A butterfly wing is actually formed by layers. These layers are so thin you can see right through them.
- Butterflies can see red, green, and yellow.
- Some butterflies, such as the Northern Pearly Eye, will fly at night.
- Butterflies don't have lungs.
- Butterflies live just 2-4 weeks, usually.
- Monarchs can fly a 1000km without stopping.
- Male Monarchs never make the return journey the following spring.
- Butterflies live on an all-liquid diet. Speaking of butterflies eating, adult butterflies can only feed on liquids, usually nectar.
- Butterflies can attain a flight speed of up to 50 kph.
- Butterflies are cold-blooded and will not fly if the temperature is below 50 degrees.
