Insect #2

I spotted this butterfly landing on a huge flower it is about 1 to 2 inches long with colors of brown  and tan with orange spots on it. This butterfly can fly at about 12 mph. The butterfly feeds on the nector from flowers, the predators of butterflies are lizards, frogs and birds. The females lay eggs that attach to the leaf. once they hatch they are called catipillar larve once they reach their full size all they do is eat during this stage. The Catipillar forms pupa which while it is inside of this it forms into a butterfly

Transportation Facts

I am riding on a train for about 100 miles, we have already traveled about 15 miles so far. It is made of steel,metal and wood. This train is powered by coal. The best thing about this form of transportation is that it takes no effort to get where I'm going, I receive plenty of food on the train and it is pretty cozy on here. The worst thing about riding on here is the smell of the coal and that it is a bit crowded. But I am pretty pleased with my choose of transportation.
