Carol's Butterfly Quiz 2019

Ready for a Butterfly Quiz? I have tons in my backyard right now. Decided to share some trivia facts with you. Some of you probably know these, others may not. Either way, this is all about fun.

Photo was taken on my deck. A swallowtail visited me for over an hour on my pants awhile back. Captured several photos before he flew away. A very special visit indeed. I felt another presence, perhaps form my son. I choose to believe.

  1. Thanks for an interesting quiz..Monarchs in New Zealand live from 4 to 8 weeks but they can live from May to August…or the longest I have seen a Monarch live is 5 months…but I suppose a year long is possible.
    Caterpillars are often called larvae…

  2. Wow I got them all correct – I have absolutely amazed myself, because butterflies are not a subject I feel I have a lot of knowledge about. Super quiz, Carol!

  3. ok, so i got 5!

    I remembered all but two of the questions from things you had talked about. The two I missed were probably things you mentioned but I couldn’t recall!!!

  4. Just got 4. When I was preparing a quiz yesterday I did not see the option feature only the yes and no. But I see you have it.

  5. I cheated in this quiz. I played the second time after failing miserably in the first one??
    Butterflies are one of my favourite insects.

  6. 5 out of 7. There was one I knew but second-guessed myself and chose another answer. Phooey! Not too good! I love the butterfly on your pants. So special.
