Lemon latollist is one of the largest representatives of butterflies of the white-lined butterfly (Pieridae). We can meet adult butterflies in early spring, as soon as the snow melts. The male is lemon-yellow in color, the female is whitish with a slight shade of yellow. Adult insects fall into a state of rest twice - in summer sleep and winter sleep.
The characteristic feature of this butterfly is the shape of its wings - they resemble leaves.

The monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) can travel up to 4,000 kilometers when flying south. It is the only insect that migrates so far in the world. Every year, the monarch's butterflies travel several thousand kilometers, from Canada and the North of the United States to their Mexican and Californian wintering grounds. It is the longest migration of this type on Earth. It is the mass migrations of the monarch butterfly that make it such a popular and interesting insect.

Mieniak
There is no need to convince anyone that butterflies are attracted by the scent of flowers or sweet fruit. However, many of them have completely different tastes. This group includes one of the most beautiful and mysterious Polish butterflies - miniaki.

Atlas Moth
The world's largest butterfly is known as the 'Atlas Moth'. Its wingspan can reach up to 26 centimeters. It is the largest butterfly in the world but also one of the shortest-lived butterflies because it lacks a mouth structure. That's why he doesn't have the ability to feed. It stores the food it eats in the caterpillar stage. When this warehouse is finished, it ends its life. During this period 6 or 8 days. On the tip of its wings, there are snake-head-like patterns that help it protect it in this short life. Other animals, seeing the snake head on the wings, do not approach the butterfly, thinking that there is a poisonous snake there.

Butterflies are the second largest group of insects. These insects flew among the dinosaurs, they have been around for over 200 million years! There are as many as 150,000 of them around the world. Butterflies occur on all continents except Antarctica. They are also important indicators of the state of the natural environment. Due to their sensitivity to changes in the environment, studying butterfly populations can provide information about the health of ecosystems.

The butterfly's body is made of three parts, and the whole body is covered with a protective shell. The head has eyes, antennae and a developed suction cup, which is very characteristic of these organisms. Thanks to it, insects can collect the nectar of flowers on which they feed. The body of a butterfly has a pair of wings and usually three pairs of legs. At the very end there is the last part of their body - the abdomen.

Butterflies and moths undergo a complete metamorphosis, which means there are four separate stages in the life cycle (egg, larva, pupa, and adult). Each stage looks completely different and serves a different purpose in the life of the insect.

The basis of the diet of many butterfly species is flower nectar. When drinking nectar, butterflies use the sugars and other minerals contained in it. This gives them the strength to fly, and in the case of species that hibernate as adult butterflies, they also accumulate fat reserves, which allows them to wake up only next spring.

Caterpillars are the larvae of moths and butterflies.. After hatching, caterpillars spend the first two weeks munching everything on their path. Butterflies are particular about where they lay their eggs because caterpillars begin eating where they hatch. Caterpillars hatch with strong mandibles and begin chewing on leaves and flowering plants. Caterpillars do not drink water but instead eat more leaves when thirsty.

The wings consist of a delicate scaffolding called veins, between which there is a membrane covered with scales. They are responsible for the delightful colors of butterflies. However, they are attached to each other very delicately, so they fall off easily. For this reason, despite the great desire to touch a butterfly, it is better not to do it. The wings can be damaged very easily!

Every year, the extraordinary Monarch butterfly goes on a long journey across North America - sometimes from Canada to Mexico! Okay, so how do butterflies not lose their way while flying? They don't have a compass or a map, so how do they know where to fly? Butterflies use the sun to navigate. By tracking the angle of sunlight, they can determine their location.
