How do butterflies move?
Butterflies move by walking or by flying. Butterflies have 4 wings made of protein and covered with tiny scales. Veins make the wings strong. Muscles in the thorax make the wings pump up and down. The wings and 6 legs are attached to the thorax.
Fast butterflies can fly at 30 miles per hour. Slow butterflies fly at 5 miles per hour.
Some butterflies open their wings in the sun to warm up enough to fly.
