Did you Know?

The biggest butterfly in the world is the Queen Alexandra butterfly. It's wing-span is 11 inches across. That's the size of a robin! Sometimes it is called the Bird-wing butterfly because it's so big.

But the smallest butterfly is the Western pygmy blue butterfly. It's a half an inch across, no wider than a thumbnail!
