       • They can change colors. I have found out many things in nature can sometimes appear to be what they are not. But I still consider these butterflies. 🙂

         • Seems like you’ve fun with nature!!
           I lack the patience to explore and observe as much as you do.

4. Can butterfly see their wings ?

   • Yes they can. As the butterflies can bend their wings forward, so the butterflies can see their wings because their eyes are on the sides of their heads. You can see this when you see a butterfly flaps its wings and their eyes can see them.

5. This is a beautiful flower.
