For humans seeing butterflies fluttering around with their beautiful brightly colored wings is a joyful sight. However not for their natural predators like lizards, spiders, and birds. To them, the vibrant hues are a reminder of a bad-tasting species that are best avoided. For those not easily duped, some butterflies also have eyespots on their wings. According to researchers, this tricks would-be predators into thinking that the insect is a larger animal, like an owl.

      That is so awesome!! Personally, I didn't know that some species of butterflies even have ultraviolet patterns that are visible only to other butterflies! I also didn't know that some chrysalis can be camouflaged!
