Observe A Butterfly Before You Draw One
The best way to draw a butterfly is to observe a living one and learn all about them first. Indeed, butterflies are interesting to watch.
Butterflies are very active during the day and visit a variety of wildflowers. They are most active in fair weather around mid-morning and late afternoon. So the more observant you are, the more butterflies you will see and the more you will learn about them.
Butterflies are cold-blooded insects and they depend on warmth from the sun for energy, to maintain proper body temperature and to enhance their wing color.
Butterflies are delightful creatures but as pollinators, they are less efficient than bees at moving pollen between plants.
Butterflies are vulnerable to pesticides so if you want to attract butterflies, never use pesticides. If you want to attract a particular species of butterfly to your yard, find out what food plants it likes and plant them. Butterflies are generally short lived, but there are exceptions among migrating species which leave North Africa in early spring and fly thousands of kilometres northwards.
