There are about 24,000 species of butterflies and 140,000 species of moths in the world. They exist on every continent except Antarctica. A butterfly starts out as an egg, grows into a caterpillar, then it builds a cocoon of silk threads and after a time emerges as a beautiful butterfly. They sip the nectar from plants and help to pollinate while they sip. In the fall, Monarch butterflies fly south from the Great Lakes region to the Gulf of Mexico, over 2,000 miles away, and return in the spring to lay their eggs.

Bees are first rate pollinators, they move from flower to flower, carrying the flower's pollen with from the male parts to the female parts of the plant.Bees produce honey, a yummy treat for humans and animals like bears.Bees live in hives and communicate with each other through smell and by dancing.Bees fly at speeds of 16 miles per hour, and can beat their wings 200 times a second. Bees are mysteriously disappearing, in some areas 90% of the bees have disappeared.
