About Butterflies
A butterfly tastes with its feet and drinks through a proboscis that coils like a watch spring when it is not in use. Its wings are covered in tiny overlapping scales that rub off as powder on your fingers. Monarch caterpillars eat milkweed and nothing else, storing the plant's bitter compounds so birds learn to leave them alone. The viceroy wears nearly the same orange-and-black pattern, a resemblance that protects it from predators who have already tried a monarch.
Reach for this one during a spring unit on life cycles, or alongside planting a nectar garden.
