Learn why butterfly wings are very delicate and why it's best to look but not touch them, explained in a simple way for young children.
Hello! Did you know that butterfly wings are very special but also very delicate? Butterfly wings are covered with tiny, tiny scales that look like soft paint. These scales help butterflies fly and stay colorful, but they can fall off very easily if we touch them.
When we touch a butterfly's wings, the tiny scales can break or come off, and this can hurt the butterfly because it makes flying hard for it. So, it's best to watch butterflies with our eyes, not with our hands. This way, we keep them safe and happy!
Isn't it amazing how something so beautiful needs to be very careful with? So remember, butterflies love to fly freely and we can help them by being gentle and not touching their wings.
