Best regards steemit. Today I want to share a little information about butterflies. @esteem
adult butterflies only eat fluids, usually nectar. The portion of the mouth is modified to be able to drink, but they are not able to chew solid food. , curled beneath the butterfly's chin until he finds the source of the nectar, or other liquid nutrients. He will then stretch out the tubular structure to suck his food.
What we know butterflies have the most colorful and striking wings! Well, the butterfly wings are actually formed from the layers of chitin, a protein that forms an exoskeleton of insects. These layers are so thin you can see through them. @freewrite Thousands of small scales envelop this transparent chitin and these scales reflect light in different colors. As the butterfly gets older, it will bring up a transparent point where its chitin layers will be exposed. @quote So the older the butterfly, the wings will increasingly appear transparent.
