| How could we not love her with a face like this |
- Have you ever seen a butterfly cry?
- No, but I’ve seen a moth bawl!
- How do you milk a caterpillar?
- Find a very low stool!
- Daffy-nition of a butterfly
- A worm that’s won its wings!
- Question: What do a moth, a butterfly and a fish have in common?
- Answer: Scales!
- FACT: Everyone knows that fish have scales. But, what about moths and butterflies? Well, it will probably come as a surprise to you to learn that the powder-like substance on the wings of moths and butterflies is actually tiny layers of scales. These layers of scales help give butterflies and moths their beautiful color. They also give out a special smell from some male moths and butterflies that make the females like them.

| YES, we do have butterflies in January |
You always have the most interesting posts Sandra.
ReplyDeleteLove the moth Bawl!
Scales...hadn't a clue.
Sure wish we could get together and have a good yak!
I see Baby has found her sunny spot and is ready for a nap. What no chasing butterflies?
ReplyDeleteGreat butterfly shots. I didn't know that about the scales, learned something new tonight.
I keep meaning to tell you I really like your new header with all the hearts.
What a face!. It says, "Love me or I will cry." Interesting about butterfly scales. The dogs in the pram in your last post are a hoot. A little over the top I'd say.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that! Interesting!
ReplyDeletehave a nice day, Sandra!
Kiss
how interesting to hear about a butterfly crying!?
ReplyDeleteloved your sunshine, pup stories, and everything in this post.
beautiful photos!
Baby is in spring mode.
ReplyDeleteWe have got yellow butterflys also.
In February.
Woof! Woof! Interesting about the scales on moth ... Golden Thanks for sharing. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteBaby is so pretty especially with the sun shinning on her face and making her eyes sparkle even more! Cute jokes Sandra! I didn't know that about scales and butterflies...interesting! Have a fun week!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting post! And I love your header...it looks great. ~~Thanks for visiting my blog...I hope we will be come blogging friends....I enjoyed your visit and am enjoying your blog. I am sitting here near our infra-red heater. It helps the furnace not to kick on so much and does a good job. I so love 'cozy'....
ReplyDeletescales. pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteI love your new header with a touch or red - and yes who couldn't love that face. I didn't know they had scales either. Always so many new and wonderful things to learn.

Thanks for the smiles, my friend! Love the pics....and BTW we have butterflies in January in MN too....however, they are just pictures in books, does that count? I didn't think so....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laughs, Sandra!
ReplyDeleteYes, the fishers do fish inside the huts, and I hear it can be quite cozy there. They drill holes through the ice using augers. Then fish with fishing poles.
Thanks for a good laugh, a little knowledge (scales) and great photos!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Thanks for the information about scales on butterflies and moths. I'm slightly envious of your January butterflies, but since you shared such good pictures I'll be content with them. It's too cold for butterflies up here today.
ReplyDeleteLove the jokes!!! The butterfly is wildly orangey beautiful, especially against the purple flowers! I miss flowers and butterflies in the winter, almost no snapping opportunities outside! Even the sunsets aren't as pretty as the other seasons.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, The jokes are cute.... Moth Bawl, huh???? ha ha...
ReplyDeleteLove the butterfly... Can't wait to see butterflies here in the spring.
Hugs,
Betsy
Oh, I am so envious of butterflies this time of year!
ReplyDeleteBaby is such a sweetheart and has the prettiest eyes! Love, love, love butterflies, too!
ReplyDeleteCute face of your dog, indeed! What a beautiful scene butterfly in January. I too didn't know about butterfly scales. How interesting! Your photos are beautiful and full of sun. I also like your header photo very much.
ReplyDeleteIt is always refreshing to see a butterfly,but especially in winter,even if it is only on the blog.
ReplyDelete"They also give out a special smell from some male moths and butterflies that make the females like them." that made me laugh because I know a couple of guys who could use some moth and butterfly scales....lol
ReplyDeleteButterflies are so beautiful, and this one is gorgeous. Baby looks so content there in the sunny corner ^_^
ReplyDeleteGreat photos my friend!
Have a great day!
Eva
So what is that sweet pink flower you have growing that the butterfly is on?
ReplyDeleteLove the shots of your sweet baby gal.
I always learn something interesting when I visit you Sandra...love that sweet girl...
ReplyDeleteBaby does have a pretty face! The butterfly is pretty, too. Makes me wish for spring.
ReplyDeleteLoved your shots of your pups and the cute little trio from your Bray Park collection!
ReplyDeleteI am missing the butterflies!
