Wallpaper Description:

The name 'Butterfly' was first coined to describe the Yellow Brimstone Butterfly, a variety commonly seen across Europe. It was actually known as 'Butter-colored Fly' and that later became 'Butterfly'.
There are about 28,000 known Butterfly species throughout the world.

Butterflies taste food by standing on it. This is because their taste sensors are found in their feet.

Butterflies cannot fly if their body temperature is less than 86 degrees.

. Butterflies - and moths - belong to the order Leptidoptera. This is derived from the Greek term for 'scale-wing'.

The wings of Butterflies are actually transparent. The vivid colors are due to overlapping bright scales. Butterfly wings are very delicate and can get damaged if handled. The scales too can get rubbed off if touched.

Butterflies have intricate and pretty patterns on their wings. These designs are intended for camouflage purposes, so the predators, like birds, either can't make out the Butterflies in the trees or bushes or are scared off into thinking them to be some other larger creature.

The patterns are also useful in courtship rituals. Butterflies fly in circles around one another to find a mate.

Some Butterflies are migratory. They flies thousands of miles in the winter to places having a warmer climate, and return in the spring.
