Hey Kidspace!: Why Are Butterflies So Colorful?

Butterflies come in many colors and are pretty to look at but their colors are so much more than just decoration. Butterflies use their colors to blend into their surroundings and hide, to find other butterflies, and to warn predators that they will taste really bad if they try to eat them! Some of the colors come from pigments and some are made from light reflection on the scales of their wings.
