BUTTERFLY EFFECTS
WHY THEY HAVE A LOT COLOURS AND PATTERNS
Butterfly can be considered as one of beautiful animal in the world.
They are soft, colourful and no harm to any other nature accepts they
get the nectar from the flowers and the caterpillar eats the leaves
around. They wont hurt or sting any one. We never heard that people
die because of being stung by a butterfly. Normally if other animal eats
butterfly, they will immediately spit it out back because of the poison
stored in the body will cause severe vomiting. Maybe because of this
things and the reasons of we can see a thousands of species of butterflies
flying around over the world. They are can be considered as one of
the largest group of insects inhabiting on the earth. If you realizes, even
there is a thousand species of butterfly around the world, each species
will not have a same pattern and colour of the wings.
Butterfly can be considered as one of the most striking colour
display found in the nature. As they fly from one flower to another
gathering the nectar. If we going to butterfly, sometimes all the
colourful that coming from the wings make us fly away with beautiful
thing around. Actually all the colourful wings that butterfly have act
as a camouflage, mate attraction and warning signal. But what is it
that makes the vibrant and colourful colour appear to dance? How
can they possess such intense colour?
Butterfly gets their colour from two different sources, which is
ordinary colour and structural colour. The ordinary colour comes
from normal chemical pigments that absorb certain wavelengths of
light and reflect others. For example, the pigment chlorophyll colours
plant green. It soaks up the blue and red colours of the spectrum, but
not the green. That is what you see on your eyes when it bounces
back. Most butterflies get their different shades of brown and yellow
from melanin, the same pigment that makes you tan during summer.
Structural colour from butterfly coming from specific structure of the
butterfly wings. butterfly wings are covered with a lot of little scales
which layer on top of each other and are separated by little pockets
of air. Because of this colour appear to sparkles and shift as an
observer moves is actually a light effect known as iridescence.
Iridescence is the visual of something having a milky brightness and
play of colours from the surface. All the reflections concentrate and
compound each reflection make it more vibrant visual displays of
colours. Others animals that have iridescence such like fish, seashell
and peacock. Butterfly use their colourful ability to camouflage,
breeding and warning signal to others butterfly or animals.
