Peacock butterflies are brush-foots. They have four eyespots on their brilliantly coloured wings, which they flash to frighten off predators. Swallowtails are found all over the world but are most common in the tropics, where they grow up to 25cm across. Holly blue caterpillars make a sweet liquid called honeydew, which ants milk. Orange tips have bright orange tips to their wings.
Hairstreak butterflies have a false head on their hind wings.
Birds peck at this, leaving the real head alone. Male queen butterflies stroke the female' s antennae with hair brushes on their abdomen to prepare her for mating. Tiger moths emit high-pitched clicks at night to warn bats they taste bad. Woolly bear moths are edible but emit the same clicks. The biggest butterfly is the Queen Alexandra's birdwing, which has wings up to 28cm across.
