Features: Insects are actually very beautiful and adorable, have you ever thought about it? Some are dressed in blue coats, while others are adorned with tiny star-like things on their bodies. These insects are indeed cute and beautiful. But they are not just for beauty. When encountering enemies, they can hide using their appearance. The Brazilian butterfly is light blue, which allows it to reflect the strong sunlight of the tropics, preventing the body from overheating. Or when a bird wants to catch it and gets close, its eyes can startle the enemy, scaring it away. Antennae are not just ornaments; during food competition, they can push partners aside, and without them, it wouldn’t be possible. Looking closely at an insect’s face is also very interesting. In fact, each face is different. The large eyes of a dragonfly are designed to quickly spot small insects while flying in the air. The large mouth of a beetle has turned into a weapon and is no longer used for chewing food, so it can only lick tree sap with its tongue. After observing these insects, please go on to discover new ones. Enjoy them with your children!
