ABOUT BUTTERFLY
Butterflies offer us nature with their colorful wings and elegant stances. just one of the unique beauties. Butterflies reproduce with eggs.. Females attach their eggs individually or in groups to tree bark and leaves.. The larvae that emerge from the eggs do not immediately turn into butterflies. The butterflies, which are the best examples of metamorphosis in nature, are still called caterpillars when they hatch. after life they break the cocoon and emerge as an adult butterfly. This period is about 10-15 days, depending on the type.
It is necessary to give an answer to an incorrect information here.. It is very difficult to say that all butterflies have a lifespan of one day without taking into account their metamorphosis, which consists of two phases.. However, although it is known that there are species that live one day after becoming a butterfly, most of them have a lifespan of 1-2 months.. Although the average lifespan is 2-4 weeks, there are butterflies with a lifespan of 9-10 months.
There are 165,000 known species of butterflies that can live on every continent except Antarctica.. While scientists thought the butterfly was deaf, it was discovered in 1912 that the butterfly had ears.. Adult butterflies feed only on liquid, usually nectar.
The life cycle of butterflies has four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis or cocoon), and adult.. This process of change is called metamorphosis.. You can observe them in Konya Tropical Butterfly Garden.
