Text and Images from Butterflies

A butterfly is an insect.
It has six legs and four wings.

A butterfly’s body
has three parts.
The abdomen helps
a butterfly eat,
breathe, and make
babies. The thorax
is where the legs
and wings are
attached.

A butterfly’s head has a mouth, two eyes and two antennae. Butterflies use their antennae to smell.
