 | | The adult, sexually mature, stage of the insect is known as the imago. | | | Butterfly and moth eggs vary greatly in size between species, but they are all either spherical or ovate. | | | Unlike many other members of the insect world, the flight of a butterfly can be explained quantitatively (and quite accurately) using steady-state, non-transitory aerodynamics. |

| | Butterflies (and moths) are the only group of insects that have scales covering their wings, although some butterflies have reduced scales. | | | However, butterflies are very important to many plants that are dependent upon flower-visiting insects for cross-pollination. | | | Butterflies are commonly associated with plants, and the relationship is sometimes complex. |

| | Together with their cousin, the moth, they make up a large group or order of insects known as Lepidoptera (from the Greek words for scale and wing), since the insects are covered from feet to wings with thousands of tiny scales. | | | The acrylic panels, which come in a variety of designs and sizes, are filled with non-endangered butterflies that have died a natural death on special breeding farms. | | | Albaranes is quick to point out that the butterflies he uses are not captured or killed but are specially bred on commercial butterfly farms in the rain forests of Brazil, Costa Rica, the Amazon and Papua, New Guinea. |

| | Butterflies depend on nectar from flowers for sustenance, greatly reducing the period in which they can eat. | | | Butterflies and moths, however, have wings much larger than their bodies, like big bulls eyes to attract predators. | | | Monarch butterflies fly south around 1800 miles in the autumn to a destination where many of them winter together before returning north the next spring. |

| | And although both butterflies and moths develop in a chrysalis, most moths also spin a protective cocoon. | | | The magic metamorphosis happens at this stage, and when the butterfly breaks out, it is an adult that can reproduce, fly in search of food, and migrate if necessary. | | | When people talk about this family of insects in general, they may use "butterflies" or "moths" to describe them, and both are considered correct. |

| | Apart from the Puffy Combs-produced "Honey," Butterfly is devoted to ballads, and while they are all well-crafted, many of them blend together upon initial listening. | | | Even though Butterfly doesn't have as many strong singles as Daydream, it's one of her best records, illustrating that Carey is continuing to improve and refine her music, which makes her a rarity among her '90s peers. | | | Subsequent plays reveal that Carey's vocals are sultrier and more controlled than ever, and that helps "Butterfly," "Break Down," "Babydoll," and the Prince cover, "The Beautiful Ones," rank among her best; also, the ballads do have a stronger urban feel than before. |
