All About Butterflies

Most of the time, if you ask someone why they love butterflies, the standard answer is going to be because they’re beautiful. It’s a good answer because butterflies certainly are beautiful. There are over 17,000 different species of butterflies in the world, and each one of them is unique and features different colors and patterns. There are some butterflies, of course, that aren’t bright and vibrant, much like the Orsotriaena medus of Asia and Australia, but even these “plain” butterflies are unique, interesting and quite lovely in their own way.

The only problem with the “because they’re beautiful” answer is that butterflies have so much more going for them than just their beauty. First of all, butterflies are old. Scientists can be certain that they’re at least 50 million years old, and they suspect that several species of butterflies are closer to 150 million years old. They are also indicators of and often the reason for healthy ecosystems. They act as a natural form of pest control and pollination.

Furthermore, butterflies are excellent indicators of what’s going on in our world. Scientists often study the migration habits, changes in the transformation stages and population changes of butterflies as early indicators of global warming and other important, possibly deadly, changes happening on Earth. Butterflies are incredibly sensitive to even the slightest changes in temperature, and they’re prone to noticing these changes long before humans ever become aware of them.

Finally, butterflies are also important to human society in more abstract ways. Because they’re so lovely, people will actually make an effort to go to places where they can be found so they can watch them. If these trips are taken on foot, they have beneficial effects on people’s health. Getting out and walking in the sunshine to see butterflies is good cardio, a good source of vitamin D from the sun and just good for people’s all-around mental/emotional states of being. If these trips are taken to butterfly houses, nature preserves, zoos, etc., it also helps strengthen the economy.

Conclusion

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with appreciating butterflies for their beauty. Their unique designs, shapes, sizes, patterns and colors are definitely things that should be appreciated, but the next time someone gives you that standard answer, take some time to educate them on all the benefits butterflies bring to us beyond their beauty.
