When I see brightly coloured adult butterflies, I am reminded of my grandpa.  They loved him!
Thats sweet, butterflies are beautiful creatures. Do you know much about them?
Not too much, but I learned a little in science class.  They are actually insects for the order Lepidoptera, which includes moths.
That makes sense, i never knew what the big difference between the two was but always preferred butterflies.
Yes, me too.  Bullterflies have that quick, four-stage life cycle.  The primary schools here always "hatch" a butterfly.
Thats awesome is there anything else you can tell me about them?
Well, there's over 180,000 species, but I think the Monarch must be the most common.
