Butterflies!!

Hi y'all! Now I am going to talk about butterflies!

Introduction

Butterflies belong to the Kingdom Animalia, the Phylum Athropoda, the class Insecta, the order Lepidoptera[moths, skippers], the sub order Rhopalocera. The sub order Rhopalocera has 3 superfamilies.  Butterflies belong to the Papilionoidea family.

Where do butterflies come from?

There are several methods by which a butterfly forms. Let me demonstrate.

-First, a caterpillar hatches from an egg. They eat

        a lot of leaves  to    become big.

-When they are old enough, they attach themselves to twigs.

-Then, they form hard shells called pupas.

-Inside the pupa the caterpillar changes into a butterfly.

-When the butterfly is fully formed, it breaks out of its pupa!

Amazing Facts

One of the strongest insect fliers is the Apollo butterfly. It can fly over hills and even high mountains, then it rests over a rock or in a flower in the sunshine.

Butterflies cannot hear but can feel vibrations.

Butterflies do not have lungs.

Butterflies smell with their antennae.

Female butterflies live longer than male butterflies.

There are about 24,000 species of butterflies. 

Antarctica is the only continent which has no Lepidoptera[we learnt about Lepidoptera]

Oppressed for thousands of years...  Especially in India, women were married at the age of 12 or 13 and were cremated or burnt with their dead husbands. This practice was called the 'Sati'. After some time, people had some sense knocked into them and women were allowed to have jobs. But did it stop there, NO! Women were paid less than men. Why? Even I don't know the reason. They were still not valued, even with jobs. Most of them heard "Hon, please get me a doughnut and a coffee with seven cubes of sugar." Hon. Seriously, 'hon'. Most people wonder, 'What is wrong with 'hon'? Well, according to me, when you call a women 'hon', you are implying that their names are not worthy to be remembered. But, there are some women whose name will always...
