About Butterfly Butterfly Features: Small Head, 2 compound eyes. Butterfly basically feed on Nectar from flowers. Adult Butterfly consume only liquid [nectar from flowers]. They use their Antenna to sense air from wind and fragrance. Butterfly can fly only when their temperature is 27℃ or 81℉. Largest butterfly in the world: Queen Alexandra Birdwing. Butterflies also derive nourishment from rotting fruits, dung, decaying flesh, dissolved minerals in the dirt/ sand. Butterfly Lifecycle An Adult Butterfly lay eggs on the food plant.
