Species post up soon, I promise, with bonus pictures of some animals. Until then, I made a really stupid cartoony post to tide you over.
Check out all my Species a Day posts, with writeups, here.

The magnificent butterfly, probably most peoples favorite insect. There are over 24,000 varieties of them in the world, they can't fly unless their body temperature is at least 86 degrees, Antarctica is the only continent that does not have butterflies, the longest life span of any butterfly is only 9-10 months, and they are represented in Egypt pyramids.....Just some interesting tidbits that make them even more interesting.
