Butterflies are termed as holometabolous insects, and go through complete metamorphosis. It is a popular belief that butterflies have very short life spans. However, butterflies in their adult stage can live from a week to nearly a year depending on the species. Many species have long larval life stages while others can remain dormant in their pupal or egg stages and thereby survive winters.
在我的中学时期，有位男同学常常会在家的院子里抓毛虫（Caterpillar）给我玩然后再放生。。。
随着年龄的增长，我开始珍惜每一只毛虫的生命不在玩毛虫了。。。
我知道毛虫成长的过程很煎熬和受到其它因素导致没命，就像人类一样若在成长过程中学坏或犯错将会走上不归路。。
蝴蝶的生命很短暂，不同种类有不同生命限期。。。最短生命的也只有七天。。。
当蝴蝶开始学会起飞游荡着世界却在第七天离开了蓝蓝的天空。。。
不要以为人生七八十，记得要珍惜生命。。。
