The Butterfly Life Cycle

The life cycle of a butterfly

Life cycle of a butterfly

when butterflies live a natural lifespan, their wings show the evidence! 🦋 rips, tears and weathering are a common occurrence during a butterflies life - caused by general wear & tear, breeding, territorial scraps, getting caught in leaves and lucky escapes from predators. 🌿 it's mostly cosmetic but sometimes can hinder the insects method of transport - though if the damage is roughly symmetrical, chances are they can still fly! ✨ - [note: hands are clean/dry/free of soaps for handling 👏💕] #
