Fun Facts

Here are some fun facts to share with the family as you make your art.

  1. There are almost 20,000 butterfly species. About 575 live in the lower 48 states of the US. 
  2. Butterflies only live for a few weeks. The average lifespan of an adult butterfly is roughly three to four weeks; however, the entire life cycle can last between two and eight months. As with anything, there are exceptions to the rule. At least one species of Butterfly lives for approximately 24 hours, while some migratory butterflies, like the North American Monarch, can survive for nearly eight months. 
  3. The most common Butterfly in the US is the Cabbage White. Named for its primarily white marking, when hints of yellow and green like the vegetable, the Cabbage White may not be the most colorful Butterfly in your garden or yard, but it is the most common.
  4. Some butterfly species migrate from the cold. Butterflies are cold-blooded and require a body temperature of approximately 85 degrees to activate their flight muscles. If the weather begins changing, some species migrate in search of sunshine. Some, like the North American Monarch, travel an average of 2,500 miles!
  5. One of the largest butterflies is the Giant Swallowtail Butterfly. This species has a name that fits its dimensions with a wingspread of between four and seven inches. Their swallowtail description is borrowed from birds of the same name, thanks to the long tails on this Butterfly’s hindwings.
  6. Butterflies have four wings, not two. The wings closest to its head are the forewings, while those in the rear are the hindwings. Thanks to strong muscles in the Butterfly’s thorax, all four wings move up and down in a figure-eight pattern during flight.
