Butterflies have different ways of defending themselves. When they are caterpillars their bodies have hair that is sometimes prickly and causes itching. They also strike menacing poses, to discourage their enemies. During the chrysalis phase they are generally safe since they are either buried in trees or hung from them. As adults, they camouflage themselves using colors to warn their enemies that they are poisonous, or if they're not, to pretend that they are.
Butterflies are one of the most beautiful creatures in all creation.
