A butterfly has two sets of wings. It uses the wings to fly from place to place.
Why do butterflies need to fly? To find lots of food and to lay their eggs in good spots.
A butterfly has a thin, smooth coat of scales on its wings. They look like the shingles on a roof. The scales give the wings their colors. Some wings are bright and beautiful. Others blend in with leaves or tree bark.
