DID you ever watch a butterfly flutter by? Who but the most insensitive of creatures does not stop in his tracks to admire the beauty and fragility of this dainty insect? And they are found all over the world in such variety of size and design that there are said to be anywhere from 15,000 to 20,000 species! What is the largest butterfly you have ever seen? If you live in Papua New Guinea, then you might have seen the largest in the world—Queen Alexandra's birdwing, with a wingspan of about 11 inches [of up to 280 mm].
