What comes to your mind when we talk about insects?
The expressions vary from person to person!
Ok, but what about Butterflies (Titli)?
Butterfly are one the most beautiful insects we have ever seen on Earth. These tiny little flying creatures are known for their beautiful vibrant colours and we all just can’t take our eyes off them!

But do you know how long butterflies live?
This depends on many things and varies greatly. It depends on the size of the butterfly, the species of the butterfly, where it lives, and what time of year it became an adult. The average life span of a butterfly is usually about one month.
