Heavy rain will also hinder the activities of butterflies. In order to prepare for flight, butterflies must let the sun shine directly on their wings, because only in this way can they quickly warm their flying muscles, and cloudy days block the solar radiation necessary for their take-off.
When it rains, butterflies will shelter from the rain in flowers, leaves, grass and wheat fields. Under tall grass or leafy plants, mushrooms and eaves are also places where they will shelter from the rain. Generally, butterflies will shelter from the rain nearby. If they are foraging in flowers and it rains suddenly, they will hide in flowers and leaves and stick their wings to the back of leaves, which can not only prevent rain, but also play a windproof role.
At the same time, butterflies often choose places with relatively dense density, such as grasslands and wheat fields. Because of its dense leaves, it has the function of keeping out the cold, making it a better choice for butterflies. Moreover, tall grass or leafy plants can also be used as shelter from the wind and rain.
In addition, if the butterfly is really wet by the rain, don't worry, because the butterfly's wings are made up of hundreds of tiny scales, similar to those on fish. When it rains, they can keep out the rain, so that they won't really get wet.
Butterfly wings are like the wings of an airplane, allowing butterflies to fly forward by airflow; The colorful patterns on butterfly wings are amazing. However, their colorful wings are not just for people to feast their eyes on. Colorful colors are used to hide, disguise and attract spouses.
