Butterflies And Flowers Art Print

There are about 180,000 known butterfly and moth species worldwide. Of that number, only about 19,000 are butterfly species. They’ve been around for a long time. About 100 million years ago, a group of moths started venturing out during the day to take advantage of nectar-rich flowers. It is believed that this single event led to the evolution of all butterflies. Butterflies and moths are indicators of the health of ecosystems and the environment in general. Areas rich in these insects usually point to a diverse population of other invertebrates.
