"Cada vez que nuestra vista descansa en el paisaje que nos rodea, las mariposas, con su constante y silencioso vuelo de flor en flor, hacen que el paisaje se llena de color".
"Every time our eyes rest on the landscape around us, the butterflies, with their constant and silent flight from flower to flower, make the landscape fill with color".
Estos insectos, además de dar belleza y llamar nuestra atención con sus alas cubiertas de escamas, forman parte del orden de los lepidópteros. Estos coloridos insectos cuentan con dos largas alas, seis patas y pelos sensoriales, otra características especial de ellos, se encuentra en el tórax donde controlan el vuelo y nacen sus alas, las cuales solo pueden alzar el vuelo si la temperatura corporal supera los 30 grados, la función de este mecanismo de vuelo es regular la temperatura del cuerpo de las mariposas.
These insects, besides being beautiful and attracting our attention with their scale-covered wings, are part of the Lepidoptera order. These colorful insects have two long wings, six legs and sensory hairs, another special feature of them, is in the thorax where they control the flight and born their wings, which can only take flight if the body temperature exceeds 30 degrees, the function of this flight mechanism is to regulate the body temperature of butterflies.
Por otro lado, los diferentes colores de sus alas se producen a la difracción y refracción de la luz que se produce en sus escamas. lamentablemente, cuando las mariposas envejecen pierden su color.
On the other hand, the different colors of their wings are produced by the diffraction and refraction of light that occurs in their scales. unfortunately, when butterflies age they lose their color.
Otra curiosidad de estos animales voladores es que , durante su periodo como orugas comen casi cualquier vegetal, pero al alcanzar su madurez, las mariposas succionan polen, néctar y esporas de hongos atreves de su aparato bucal lamedor-chupador y esta genera la polinización, que a su vez es importante ya que toma un rol en el ciclo del ecosistema.
Another curiosity of these flying animals is that, during their period as caterpillars they eat almost any vegetable, but when they reach maturity, butterflies suck pollen, nectar and fungal spores through their licking-sucking mouthparts and this generates pollination, which in turn is important because it plays a role in the ecosystem cycle.
