Hello!


"A butterfly is an insect of the order Lepidoptera. Like all
holometabolous insects, butterflies' life cycle consists of four
parts, egg, larva, pupa and adult. Most species are diurnal. The
diverse patterns formed by their brightly coloured wings and their
erratic flight have made butterfly watching a hobby."

Thank you Toilet, or should I call you...John? *Anyhoo, have
you seriously considered the Human Influences upon the
various butterfly species? *For example-

Butterflies are influenced by humans in several other ways, too. When
a butterfly’s feeding plant is introduced into other areas, the animal
will follow.
In draining swamps, destroying woods and other natural living spaces
we take away the butterflies’ basis of life. Pushing back feeding
plants also has consequences for butterflies. Poisonous deposits from
industry, households and traffic present another danger. Pesticides
and insecticides used by farmers not only threaten butterflies but
other animals and plants, too and contaminate the water.

Many butterflies and other insects are run over every day in the
streets or puzzled by the lights of the cars.

However, humans are learning from their mistakes and do positive
things as well. Besides trying to save particular living spaces, more
and more attempts of reintroduction are made.

But there is still a whole lot more to do.

Yes, much, much, more to do!

Don't overlook the change in migration induced by global warming. For
the purists among you, butterflies are a fitting topic in rap -- they
fly. Bloss, the resident loser on line, on the other hand is not: he
doesn't. He does say "I rent", but that's a typo -- he rants.
