Knowing a little about nature with Juan Miguel. "The butterflies"

Today the teacher of Juan Miguel, spoke of the characteristics of the butterflies. Juan Miguel, as he is very curious, asked the teacher where he could get the butterflies, to see and touch them. The teacher told him that near the city there was a park where there were many types of butterflies and moths of various colors and sizes.

The teacher decided to send the homework, make a visit to the park to observe the butterflies that fly. He explained that butterflies, like moths, have six legs and two antennae, which are attached to a narrow body. With four large, delicate and magnificent wings.

He told them to carefully touch one of their wings, so they could see that there were traces of dust on the fingers of their hands, but what good is the dust that the butterflies have on their wings?

Juan Miguel, as soon as he got home, built a mesh with his older brother to catch incepts, looked for a magnifying glass that his father had saved, and took an envelope to put them on.

_Mom mom, did Juan Miguel call his mother?
_ What happened? She answered.
_I have already found out what is the use of dust, which have butterflies on their wings.

This powder is called scales and fulfills different functions that can vary according to the species. The scales emit perfumes that are used with the aim of attracting the opposite sex for mating. They also serve to get confused in their environment, that is, as camouflage and thus avoid being the lunch of some predators. Another important function is to retain the heat thanks to the large number of them present in the wings. Butterflies can not fly if they are cold and the scales help keep their bodies warm.

***Juan Miguel, is very curious, began to review the entire book, met the rarest butterfly in the world and wanted to take the book to class for the teacher to see.****
