The flying lepidoptera

in #animals7 years ago

The flying lepidoptera, commonly known as butterflies have two wings that are membranous and are covered with colored scales, they use them for thermoregulation, courtship and signaling, although there are also nocturnal species such as moths, sphinxes ...

In the courtship the males make exhibitions and with their flights they cover them to the females with the smell of their pheromones, another data is that the males can avoid that the female has a new copulation are able to plug their genitals with a sticky secretion.

There are more than 165,000 species and the largest diurnal butterfly is the female Ornithoptera alexandrae, which reaches a height of 31 cm and lives in the southeast of New Guinea.

Their larvae are known as caterpillars and are typically fed on plant material in which they fulfill the role of pollinators of plants and crops.
