What is a butterflies body made of?
Like all insects, they have six jointed legs, 3 body parts, a pair of antennae, compound eyes, and an exoskeleton. The three body parts are the head, thorax (the chest), and abdomen (the tail end). The butterfly’s body is covered by tiny sensory hairs.
What body parts do butterflies have?
Like other insects, butterflies and moths have three major body sections, a head, a thorax, and an abdomen.
Do butterflies feel murderous rage?
Butterflies are well documented to not feel love or joy, only pure, murderous rage. The transformation from caterpillar to butterfly is incredibly painful. They literally liquefy themselves in their cocoon and reform. The process is like having every cell in your body dipped in acid, and you SURVIVE.
Is butterfly a bug or insect?
Butterflies are insects in the macrolepidopteran clade Rhopalocera from the order Lepidoptera, which also includes moths. Adult butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight.
Is butterfly an insect or not?
Butterflies are the adult flying stage of certain insects belonging to an order or group called Lepidoptera. Like all other insects, butterflies have six legs and three main body parts: head, thorax (chest or mid section) and abdomen (tail end). They also have two antennae and an exoskeleton.
What kind of cells does a butterfly have?
Butterflies have eukaryotic cells. All multicellular organisms consist of eukarotic cells and since butterflies are multicellular, they have eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells, are more complex cells, with membrane bound organisms and a membrane bound nucleus.
What makes an adult butterfly different from a caterpillar?
Adult butterflies are also selective about what they eat. Unlike caterpillars, butterflies can roam about and look for suitable food over a much broader territory. In most cases, adult butterflies are able to feed only on various liquids. They drink through a tube-like tongue called a proboscis.
What makes a butterfly different from other invertebrates?
Butterflies are invertebrates, which means that they do not have a backbone, instead they have an exoskeleton, a shell that encases their soft body and protects their vital organs. Butterflies undergo metamorphosis, so that the immature and adult forms are very different.
How many chromosomes does a butterfly really have?
I found an article that says butterflies have 30 or 31 chromosomes; but it’s an old article from 1978, and scientists have learned a lot of new things since then. 2. Here’s a link that says butterflies have about 380 chromosomes and a huge genome, 40 times bigger than ours:
