| Butterflies and moths (in the order Lepidoptera)
are found in a wide variety of environments
all around the world including: hot and cold,
dry and moist, and high and low altitudes,
rain forests and tundra included. Tropical
areas have the most variety of butterflies
since they can fly all year long. This is
because their larval and adult food sources
are almost always available. Butterfly species
in other parts of the world fly only at certain
times of the year and remain dormant during
the times that they cannot find food for
their offspring. In temperate areas, the
life span of adult butterflies can vary greatly.
For many of the species that thrive in temperate
zones, between their hibernation and migration
periods, they live as adults for between
6 to 12 months tops. However, for the majority
of species their adult life-span is the shortest
period of their life because it is their
reproductive stage and they only live long
enough to mate and lay eggs.
There are only about 12 families of butterflies
in the Lepidoptera order. Most adult butterflies
and moths feed on nectar sucked from nearby
flowers. In the process they facilitate
the transfer of pollen from one flower
to another making many plants dependent
on moths or butterflies for successful
pollination. Like moths, butterflies have
coiled, sucking mouthparts and two separate
wings that function as a single pair. |
