Butterflies and moths
You can spot butterflies and moths fluttering around
parks, gardens, and just about anywhere that has
wildflowers. Colorful flowers attract lots of butterflies,
and you can watch them as they feed on nectar.
Look for moths flying around streetlights at night.

See how many different colors you can
find on the wings of a butterfly. Look at
the undersides too—the colors are often
completely different! You can recognize
this painted lady butterfly by the black
and white spots on its
orange wings.Look for painted
ladies feeding
on thistle flowers.Butterflies, like all insects,
breathe through small
holes on their bodies.US_008-009_Butterflies_and_moths.indd 8 11/10/17 3:33 pm
