In France, nearly 5,000 different species have been counted. The majority are species of moths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The butterflies wings are covered with colorful scales attached to a transparent membrane. They are arranged in rows like the roof tiles. The number and size are variable depending on the species that can have more than a million. If you touch the wings of the butterflies, they break off and are not replaced as you can see under a microscope in this photo. The scales give the wings the colors and patterns that allow them to attract a mate and repel predators or hide by camouflaging themselves in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
