Butterflies are very pretty.  Their colors are very different.  Some butterflies, like the Karner Blue, have blue on them.  Monarchs have white, orange and black colors on their wings like Viceroys.  If you look close, you can tell a monarch from a viceroy by their markings.

Sometimes you get mixed up between butterflies and moths.  You can tell butterflies from moths by looking at their antenna.  The moth’s antenna is fuzzy.  The butterfly’s antenna is not fuzzy.

Butterflies are very fragile.  A lot of butterflies get hurt bumping into cars.  They have powdery wings and if you touch their wings you’ll hurt them and they can’t fly.  If their wings get wet they can’t fly.
