Did you know butterflies can help pollinate flowers just by eating? When they flap their wings while drinking nectar, they can accidentally brush pollen from one part of the flower to another, helping plants reproduce! 🦋🌸 | Butterfly Wonderland

423 reactions · 81 shares | Male butterflies find females by sight, and use chemicals called pheromones at close range. If the female accepts the male, they couple end to end and may go on a short courtship flight. They may remain coupled for an hour or more, sometimes overnight. The male passes a sperm packet called a spermatorphore to the female. The sperm then fertilize each egg as it passes down the female's egg-laying tube. | Butterfly Farms | Facebook
