The Antenna

• A butterfly has 2 antennae on its head.
• They are skinny with little knobs on the end.
• Butterflies use their antenna to smell flowers,
  plants, and other butterflies.

6
The Eyes

• A butterfly has two compound eyes - lots of
  little eyeballs grouped together. Each eyeball
  sees a little part of what the butterfly is
  looking at. It's like looking through a bunch of
  straws bundled together. Butterflies can see
  colors. They look for flowers and plants and
  other butterflies!

7
Proboscis

• A proboscis is like a long tongue or drinking
  straw. The butterfly uncoils its proboscis and
  sips up flower nectar or fruit juice.

8
The Legs

• Butterflies have 6 legs (3 pairs). Butterflies
  taste with their feet! That's how they find
  flower nectar and the best plants to lay their
  eggs. "Brush-footed" butterflies (mourning cloak,
  painted lady, monarch) look like they have only 4
  legs. The two front legs are small and covered
  with small hairs. They hold these legs up by
  their head.

9
The Body

• A butterfly has 3 body sections Head, Thorax and
  Abdomen.
• The thorax has strong muscles that help the
  butterfly move its legs and wings.
• The butterfly's heart and stomach are in its
  abdomen.
• It also "breathes" through small holes on the
  sides of the abdomen.

10
The Wings

• Butterflies have 4 wings 2 hind wings and 2
  forewings.
• Butterflies with long narrow wings can fly very
  fast.
• Butterflies with larger wings can float and glide
  in the air.
• Butterflies use their wings to soak up the sun's
  rays when the weather is cold.

11
The Scales

• Tiny colorful scales cover the both sides of a
  butterfly's wings.
• Scales with different colors make patterns and
  designs on the wings. These patterns are almost
  the same on the left and right wings, but
  patterns are very different on the front and back
  of the wing.
