Are Butterflies And Bees Related To Each Other?

I hope you enjoyed this little book about butterflies and how they are very similar to other insects. We can look at butterflies as insects the same way we can compare people to other mammals. We have many things in common but are special in our own ways. :) Learning about insects and other animals in nature will help you to understand how our environment works. We can enjoy and respect being around other animals and critters as we learn more about them. Have a beeeautiful day!
