Butterflies
Today I would like to talk to
you about what butterflies do and how butterflies help the world.
What would our world be like
without butterflies?
Is a butterfly’s job just to
flit around and look beautiful?
No a butterfly’s job is to
visit flowers. Their tiny feet collect
pollen from one plant and then they flutter all about to the next flower. The
pollen drops onto the flower and helps the plants to make seeds. so we can have veggies and fruit.
If plants can’t make seeds,
then there won’t be any food and plants for us.
That’s not a good thought.
Did you know that the lifecycle
of a butterfly goes….Egg caterpillar, chrysalis and then beautiful butterfly? Isn't that incredible!
Hungry Caterpillar eat leaves
sometimes this is bad, but most of the time it is a good thing.
When caterpillars eat weeds then
that is very good. It leaves room for
grass to grow and then the cows can eat the grass and make milk.
So please do not spray good insects so can do their pollinating job!!!
