-===== Many species migrate =====
+==== Many species migrate ====
-There are many butterflies, except Monarch, that migrate. To name a few Cloudless Sulphur, Question Mark, Clouded Skipper, Mourning Cloak, or The Painted Lady. Monarchs, however, migrate on the longer distances. [([[https://www.ecowatch.com/10-super-cool-facts-about-butterflies-1891180962.html|Eco Watch]])].

+==== Division of butterflies ====
+There are several divisions of butterflies. The most popular are those that divide butterflies by appearance. Another well-known division is also the one on the time of flight. This second division divides butterflies into diurnal butterflies and moths. It is important to note that these man-made divisions have been distinguished artificially, have blurred boundaries, and overlap.

+==== The second most abundant insect group ====
+Butterflies are the second most abundant insect group (the first being beetles). [([[https://www.si.edu/spotlight/buginfo/bugnos|Smithsonian]])]
+==== No butterflies in Antarctica ====
+Butterflies are insects that are found on almost every continent. The only exception is Antarctica.

+==== Mouth apparatus ====
+The mouth apparatus of butterflies is a sucking type. The vast majority of butterfly species feed on nectar, making this type of mouth apparatus possible. Some of the more primitive butterfly families still have remnants of the biting apparatus. [([[https://www.britannica.com/animal/lepidopteran|Britannica]])]
+==== Evolutionary advanced ====
+Butterflies are animals that are considered to be among the most evolutionary evolved insects in the world. [([[https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/butterflies-plants-evolved-in-sync-but-moth-ears-predated-bats/|Florida Museum]])]
+==== Membranous joints ====
+The different segments in a butterfly's body are connected by membranous joints, which in turn allow them to move freely. [([[https://www.uky.edu/hort/butterflies/all-about-butterflies|University of Kentucky]])]
+==== Butterfly head ====
+The head of butterflies is spherical and separate from the abdomen and is formed by the fusion of 6 different segments. This head also contains other elements such as a sucking mouth apparatus, a pair of feelers, and a pair of compound eyes. [([[https://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/butterfly/allabout/|Enchanted Learning]])]
+==== Ommatidia ====
+Compound eyes are relatively large and composed of smaller eyes that are called ommatidia. Their perception of the world is a sort of mosaic of images and colors. Compared to humans, they see very dimly. [([[https://genent.cals.ncsu.edu/bug-bytes/senses/photoreceptors/|NC State University]])]
+==== The mouth apparatus ====
+The mouth apparatus of butterflies is a sucking type. The vast majority of butterfly species feed on nectar, which makes this type of mouth apparatus possible. [([[https://www.studyandscore.com/studymaterial-detail/phylum-arthropoda-insect-mouthparts-butterfly-cockroach-housefly-honey-bee-mosquito|Study and Score]])]
+==== Smelling ====
+On the entire surface of the antennae are located receptors responsible for recognizing odors. [([[https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170817122127.htm|Science Daily]])]
+==== Johnston's organ ====
+On the surface of the antennae, there is also a Johnston's organ in butterflies. It is an organ of balance and hearing that, among other things, can pick up vibrations in the air. [([[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cne.25077|Wiley]])]
+==== 300 wing movements per minute ====
+Diurnal butterflies can make approximately 300 wing movements per minute. [([[https://www.si.edu/spotlight/buginfo/insect-flight|Smithsonian University]])]
+==== Butterfly eggs ====
+Butterfly eggs can come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes, and it mainly depends on the species. [([[https://wisconsinpollinators.com/BU/BA_ButterflyEggs.aspx|Wisconsin Polinators]])]
+==== First food for caterpillars ====
+The first food for a caterpillar is usually chorion, the shell of the egg from which it has just hatched. [([[https://www.learnaboutbutterflies.com/Lifecycle%203%20-%20hatching%20feeding%20development.htm|Learn About Butterflies]])]
+==== Pupa stage ====
+In the pupa stage, the butterfly does not take in food or fluids. [([[https://animals.mom.com/life-cycle-of-a-butterfly-12299664.html|Pets on Mom]])]
