Usually when it rains we never see butterflies flying here and there. Likewise with the butterfly that I photographed. Beautiful butterflies just quietly look for shelter. Yes, just like me, who is so engrossed in watching beautiful butterflies through the window of my room.
When it rains, butterflies prefer shelter. Not without reason, why do butterflies take shelter when it rains? Because the butterfly's body is very fragile, it is not strong. So nature has given butterflies various types of protection for butterflies against rain such as trees, houses, or other shade. When shelter, the shape of a butterfly's body will look like a drop of water. This is used to anticipate or prevent water from entering its wings or body.
In addition, butterflies cannot bear to fly when it rains heavily. Not because of the cold wind problem that interferes with butterflies to fly but, rain can be a great danger for butterflies. Because of this, butterflies choose to take shelter.
Indeed, not many butterflies save their population. In cooler habitats, butterflies will usually be used to mate and complete their life cycle. Although most butterfly species can utilize cooler habitat areas, it is not enough to protect species from climate change. The possibility of food and other habitat resources leaves them in an open and warmer area, even though it is too hot for them to survive.
Butterflies don't only like sunny days. They also need sunlight to regulate body temperature, whether when it rains or not, or when the sun is blocked and set. So it is not for no reason the butterflies perched outside my bedroom window will enter my room because butterflies see the light of my room to warm themselves. But unfortunately, when I open the window, the butterfly flies to the side of the window and I don't see it anymore.
Thanks for reading.
Have a nice day.
