Butterfly Bush

Butterflies and what they do for the environment
Pollination
o Like many other winged insects, what butterflies do for the environment that is perhaps most important is pollinating plants. The diet of adult butterflies consists mostly of nectar from flowers. While gathering nectar, the butterflies pick up pollen on their feet and wings and transfer it to neighboring flowers and plants, continuing the life cycle of many plants that other animals depend on for survival.
Eating Aphids & Rotten Fruit o As caterpillars, some butterflies eat aphids in addition to leaves, removing the destructive aphids and helping to control their population. Some adult butterflies eat rotten fruit, helping to break it down and assisting in the composting process.
Food Source o At the end of their short life, butterflies help the environment simply by providing nourishment to other creatures. Butterflies are in important food source for many animals that play an important part in the food chain and in the environment. Bats, snakes and birds all eat butterflies. So do lizards, frogs and some monkeys
How Hummingbirds help the environment
They pollinate flowers and that helps the flowers spread their seed everywhere, which causes more flowers to grow Birds birds are part of the food chain - they eat and are eaten in return.. some spread seeds and others fertilize plants.. some control insects, others control the rodent population..some eat dead animals...
