- Tiny colorful scales cover the both sides of a butterfly's
wings. Scales with different colors make patterns and designs
on the wings. These patterns are almost the same on the left
and right wings, but patterns are very different on the front
and back of the wing. Some butterflies have very colorful wings
so other butterflies can see them and find them when they want
to mate. Sometimes brightly colored butterflies are poisonous
and bad-tasting. When other animals see them, they know not
to eat them. Some butterflies have dull colors on their wings.
This helps to camouflage or hide them so other animals won't eat them.
