    Where do butterflies get their food?

    • From honey bees

    • Nectar from flowers

    • Aldi or Lidl

    • Chocolate biscuit packs

    Correct Answer
    A. Nectar from flowers
    Explanation
    Butterflies get their food from nectar in flowers. Nectar is a sugary liquid produced by flowers to attract pollinators like butterflies. Butterflies have a long tube-like tongue called a proboscis, which they use to suck up the nectar from the flowers. This nectar provides butterflies with the energy and nutrients they need to survive and reproduce.

    What kind of weather do butterflies need to be able to fly?

    • Rain

    • Windy weather

    • Cloudy weather

    • Bright sunshine

    Correct Answer
    A. Bright sunshine
    Explanation
    Butterflies need bright sunshine in order to fly because they are ectothermic creatures, meaning they rely on external sources of heat to warm their bodies. The sun provides the necessary warmth for butterflies to become active and generate enough energy to fly. Additionally, bright sunshine also helps butterflies locate flowers and other food sources, as well as navigate their surroundings more easily.

    • Speckled Wood

    • Green Veined White

    • Orange-Tip

    • Small Tortoiseshell

    Correct Answer
    A. Speckled Wood
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Speckled Wood. The Speckled Wood butterfly is known for its ability to fly in shady places. Unlike many other butterfly species that prefer open sunny areas, the Speckled Wood can be found in woodland areas where there is a lot of shade. This adaptation allows the butterfly to thrive in habitats that may not be suitable for other species, making it a unique and interesting butterfly to study.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sunshine, a jar and a long net
    Explanation
    To catch butterflies, you need sunshine to attract them, a jar to capture them, and a long net to catch them while they are flying. Butterflies are attracted to sunlight, so having sunshine is essential. The jar is needed to safely contain the captured butterfly. Finally, a long net is necessary to catch the butterflies while they are in flight, as they are quick and agile.

    When is the Small Tortoiseshell butterfly born that we see in April?

    • March

    • April

    • Last Summer

    • Last Winter

    Correct Answer
    A. Last Summer
    Explanation
    The Small Tortoiseshell butterfly is born in the last summer, which explains why we see it in April. Butterflies go through a life cycle that includes hibernation during the winter months. After hibernating, adult butterflies emerge in the spring or early summer to mate and lay eggs. These eggs then develop into caterpillars and eventually transform into adult butterflies, which we see in April. Therefore, the correct answer is Last Summer.

    What was the word for the colouring on the underside of the Orange-Tips wings?

    • Camouflaged

    • Mottled

    • Peachy

    • Orange

    Correct Answer
    A. Camouflaged
    Explanation
    The word "camouflaged" refers to the coloration or patterns that help an organism blend in with its surroundings. In the context of the question, it suggests that the coloration on the underside of the Orange-Tips wings serves to camouflage or conceal the butterfly when it is resting or hiding. This adaptation helps the butterfly avoid predators and increases its chances of survival.
