Pillangó

Pillangó, also known as the "butterfly," is a group of insects belonging to the order Lepidoptera. They are characterized by their large, often colorful wings, which are covered in tiny scales. Butterflies are distinct from moths, another group of lepidopterans, by their diurnal habits and the presence of scales on their antennae. The life cycle of a butterfly typically consists of four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult.

Butterflies are found on every continent except Antarctica and are known for their diverse range of colors and patterns, which serve various purposes such as camouflage, warning signals, and courtship displays. They play a crucial role in ecosystems as pollinators, feeding on nectar from flowers and transferring pollen between plants. Some species, like the Monarch butterfly, are known for their long-distance migrations.

The study of butterflies is known as lepidopterology, and there are thousands of species worldwide, each with its unique characteristics and behaviors. Butterflies have fascinated humans for centuries, inspiring art, literature, and scientific research. Their delicate beauty and intricate life cycles make them a popular subject of study and appreciation.
