Jane’s Journal – A Visit To Cozy Camp
Dear Diary,
Today was such a fun day! Yvette was so nice to invite us to help her find the largest butterfly in the world – The Queen Alexandra Birdwing! It was such a lovely sight to see it spread its wings. While looking for it, we also learnt so many fun facts about butterflies. Here are some for you.
- Butterflies are insects.
- A butterfly’s life cycle is made up of four stages – egg, caterpillars, pupa and adult.
- A special glue is used by butterflies to stick their eggs onto leaves.
- Most caterpillars are plant eaters (herbivores).
- Depending on the species of butterflies, they can survive as an adult for about a week to a year.
- They have four brightly coloured wings with a unique design that is made of tiny scales.
- Most butterflies feed on nectar from flowers.
- Red, yellow and green are the colours that can be seen by the butterflies.
- Flutter is the word used to describe a group of butterflies flying together and not flock. Isn’t that interesting?
Well, hope you enjoyed that as much as Jax and I did.
