Day-flying insects called butterflies have large colorful wings they use to flutter from flower to flower, feeding on nectar and pollen. With their six legs and three body parts, butterflies serve as important pollinators and have well-developed vision and sometimes hearing, though they are cold-blooded and hibernate or migrate to survive cold weather, with some species traveling thousands of miles.
