On the other hand, caterpillars and adult butterflies play a vital role as a food source for birds, lizards, snakes and other predators in the food web of our ecosystems. The butterfly wings are made up of many multi-layered tiny scales. How can these butterfly scales make an impact on human lives?
Adult butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight. The group comprises the large superfamily Papilionoidea, along with two smaller groups, the skippers (superfamily Hesperioidea) and the moth-butterflies (superfamily Hedyloidea). Butterfly fossils date to the Palaeocene, about 56 million years ago. Butterflies have the typical four-stage insect life cycle. Winged adults lay eggs on the food plant on which their larvae, known as caterpillars, will feed. The caterpillars grow, sometimes very rapidly, and when fully developed pupate in a chrysalis.
