4About it
A butterfly is an insect with four large wings covered in tiny, overlapping scales, and the scales make its colors and patterns. Every butterfly starts life as a caterpillar, which sheds its skin to become a pupa, called a chrysalis, before emerging as a butterfly. Some colors, like the shining blue of the blue morpho, come from the shape of the scales, not from any paint-like color in them.
It flaps its wings slowly all the time. Tap it to flutter, beating its wings faster and wider for a moment. Pick a monarch, a blue morpho, a swallowtail or a rose butterfly in the Splash tab. With ✋ Hands-on on, pick it up and it flutters hard on your finger; let go and it flutters off and settles back to hovering near where you left it.
