Moths and Butterflies

When my family and I went to St. Marten, we learned a lot about butterflies at the butterfly garden. At the butterfly garden we saw moths that only live 3 days but can stay in there cocoon for 6 or 7 years! All they do in their lives is mate then die. These moths are huge, also, their wings are as big as a grown mans hands! We also learned that certain sunscreens can attract butterflies. They'll actually try to suck it off your skin! Did you know that butterflies pollinate more plants than bees do? Moths and butterflies are pretty amazing insects.
