Summer entertainment like catching butterflies can hardly be called humane. Any touch of a butterfly hurts it, especially its wings. You should not catch butterflies just like that, unless it is connected with the need to study insects.
Instructions
Step 1
Probably many people were engaged in catching butterflies. Run in the summer on a hot meadow, cover a bright butterfly with a butterfly net, gently take its wings - thus touching nature. But is it good?
Step 2
There are people who professionally deal with butterflies and other insects. They are called entomologists. Such specialists know how to properly handle fragile creatures. Entomologists sometimes catch butterflies in order to compile the collection needed to study different species. But scientists will never catch insects for fun.
Step 3
You can see collections of butterflies, for example, in local history museums. Examine the wings carefully. They are covered with tiny scales. It is thanks to the scales that the color of butterflies is so elegant and iridescent.
Step 4
If you unceremoniously take a live butterfly by the wings with your fingers, then multi-colored pollen will remain on your hands. These are the scales from the wings. It is more difficult for an injured butterfly to fly. She will most likely live less than she could, or even die almost immediately.
Step 5
The age of butterflies is generally very short. Others live only a few hours, they are called "one-day". Others live longer. There are butterflies that are able to overwinter. But one way or another, the life cycle of these insects is short-lived.
Step 6
In nature, everything is interconnected and balanced. If suddenly there are fewer butterflies, the birds that feed on insects will receive less feed. There will be fewer birds - pests will breed in forests and fields.
Step 7
For the sake of a second triumph, you should not violate what can please the eye and heart over and over again. Protecting nature, man builds his prosperous future.
