Have you ever taken a closer look at the colorful wings of a butterfly? They may appear to be randomly splashed with vibrant hues, but did you know that their color patterns actually serve an important purpose in survival and reproduction? Butterfly Color By Numbers is a new project from Butterfly Conservation aimed at gathering crucial data on these patterns. By submitting photos of butterflies along with their corresponding numbers, individuals can contribute valuable information to the study and help conservation efforts. So next time you see a butterfly fluttering around, why not snap a picture and submit it to Butterfly Color By Numbers? Your small action could make a big difference for these beautiful creatures. Happy counting!
Did you know…?
Butterflies are herbivores. Depending on the stage of their existence, they may normally consume plants in a variety of ways, such as grasses, leaves, or nectar from the center of the flowers. Certain butterflies are drawn to various plants. The milkweed leaves are enjoyed by the monarch caterpillar, and thistle nectar is consumed by painted lady butterflies. The Goldenrod bloom is adored by the Western Branded Skipper in Idaho.
