Yes, the variety is stunning. We lived in Hong Kong once upon a time, and I remember seeing *huge* brightly colored butterflies and smaller ones that I loved for their cobalt blue wings.
knowledge: Cobalt-based blue pigments (cobalt blue) have been used since ancient times for jewelry and paints, and to impart a distinctive blue tint to glass, but the color was later thought by alchemists to be due to the known metal bismuth.
response: That sounds nice. Speaking of cobalt blue, the pigments have been around since ancient times to use in jewelry and paints, and even to tint glass.

Definitely one of my favorite colors.
knowledge: Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colors; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet.
response: In fact, most blue shades have slight mixtures of other colors, like green for azure or violet for ultramarine.

The description is beautiful. It *sounds* like a butterfly wings -- or other insect wings!
knowledge: Butterflies have the typical four-stage insect life cycle.
response: So, butterflies have four life stages, did you know that?
