Butterflies are the insects which not only looks beautiful but also spreads bliss and joy around. Butterflies have large, often brightly colored wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight. They are one of our favorite insects. I ponder that how gracefully they fly with their delicate wings. What a lovely species in the world of insects! When I see a butterfly moving around a flowers, it seems like the flower is so close to interact and loves to be with flowers all the time. When I was in second grade of my school, I used to chase and catch butterflies with my friends after leaving school. But now I feel that its better to watch them with the flowers rather than arresting them. They are so adorable to view them fluttering around the flowers.

Poor butterfly that it has got short span life to live. I really pity on butterfly that which adds beauty to the nature and spreads happiness, has got short life in this earth. In fact they do not sting or bite. People would seldom think of killing them otherwise they do not become pests in people's home. We think that butterflies simply make the world a prettier place.

Quote:-

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”

Moreover, they are helpful to the nature. From animal point of view, butterflies are near the bottom of the food chain and provide food for birds, mammals, and other insects. They pollinate flowers to produce seeds and thus fruits reproduced. They pollinate flowers to produce seeds and thus fruits reproduced.

More About Butterflies

It is thought that word butterfly may have originated in England when people observed pretty insect reminded them of the color of butter. Eventually it was shortened to "butterfly". The scientific name of its order, Lepidoptera, means "scaly wings" in Latin. This is a correct description since their wings and their bodies are covered with tiny scales. Butterflies and moths are th only insects that have scales. Moths and butterflies are mainly different in their appearance and activities. Moths fly mostly at night and usually have a dull color. Butterflies are active during the day and are brightly coloured. Their bodies are thin and hairless, while most moths have plump and furry bodies.

They are found nearly everywhere in the world except Antartica. They have lived on Earth for at least 150 million years. Although some tropical butterflies can live up to one year, the average life span of a butterfly is at most two months. Butterflies display every color of the rainbow in their wings, and no two butterflies are exactly alike. This coloring serves many purposes: from attracting a mate, to blending in with its surroundings, to warning its enemies that it is poisonous and should be avoided.

One of the most interesting things about butterflies is their unique life cycle. When a butterfly changes from a slow-moving, fat caterpillar to a colorfully winged, beautiful flying insect, one of nature's most magical events occurs. This metamorphosis happens to most insects, but not as dramatically as it does to a butterfly.

Thus, they are incredible fliers that have got strong wings to fly to fastly and can migrate over 3000 miles to spend the winter in a warmer place.

The Beauty and Symbolism of the Butterfly
The Butterfly is a universal symbol of change, resurrection, transformation, celebration, young love and the soul.

In some myths, the Butterfly bring sleep and dreams. In others, it is symbolic of female fertility and is thought to be the bringer of children. The butterfly also represents love and relationships.

The Butterfly is a powerful symbol in myth and religion and in many cultures, the butterfly has been the symbol of the soul that physical death can not destroy.

In Greek myth, Psyche (which literally translates to mean "soul") is represented in the form of a butterfly. Befittingly, Psyche is forever linked with love as she and Eros(Cupid) (the Greek god of love) shared an endlessly passionate bond together - both hopelessly in love with the other.

In Christianity, it a soulful symbol as well. The butterfly is a symbol of rebirth and immortality. The butterfly is often seen depicted on ancient tombs, and Christ has been illustrated holding a butterfly in Christian art.

In China it symbolized conjugal bliss and joy.

American Indians call upon the butterfly for guidance in change, color, and happiness.

This is the message from the nature as life moral throught the Butterfly life cycle-
Like the butterfly, we are all on a journey. On this journey we encounter endless turns, shifts, and conditions that cause us to metamorphasize. All change is good - even if it may not seem so at the time. Change is what life is made of and it is necessary to grow and learn. At our journey's end we are inevitably transformed - not at all the same as when we started on the path.
