Experts say that the process of butterfly metamorphosis can be said to be quite long and long. In summary, there are at least four stages in the process of butterfly metamorphosis. Beginning at the egg stage then becoming a caterpillar or larva, then cocooning and in the phase ending into a beautiful and charming butterfly. Although people sometimes don't know that the base of this beautiful animal starts from a caterpillar or larva that is very amused or disgusting. If we trace and make a hypothesis about one animal, of course there are so many species of butterflies in the world. butterflies together with moths form an insect sequence called Lepidopetra. This group contains more than 180,000 species or species that have been known by expert scientists. Even recently experts have discovered a new type of species, but not mentioned here maybe in the next post.

If you play in a location like a meadow, you will see so many butterflies of various colors and types. Grassland butterflies are species that live in the area of ​​grasslands and around flower gardens. Most of these species have bright hues and are very interested in the flowers in the regions themselves. And sometimes there are also butterflies that have never been seen around our house.

As mentioned above, butterflies occur based on metamorphosis through several stages. But in the last stage a beautiful butterfly will come out. Then after passing the first time out of the cocoon the wings of the butterfly will look tangled, small, wet, and seen stuck to the cocoon shell. According to research, the wet liquid that covers the butterfly when it comes out of the cocoon serves to help enlarge the wings and body the butterfly itself and after a few days it will grow until the time specified.

In a book entitled "Metamorphosis of butterflies: 2001" it explains that the liquid is called Hemolymph. For the first time the butterfly will creep above the branch, so that its body dries and its wings can function normally. To support the growth of butterflies. Then the butterflies that will become adults will look for flowers to absorb nectar flowers in the afternoon. As explained in the previous post that the butterfly is active during the day while the Moth is active at night. Both of these types are different in their visions but they are still classified into one order. Thus a brief explanation of butterfly explanations may be useful for all of us. Thank you very much.
