Do butterflies have eyes on their wings?

No, butterflies do not have eyes on their wings. They have compound eyes on their head which help them to see. The colors and patterns on their wings are used for attracting mates, camouflaging from predators, and thermoregulation.

No, butterflies do not have eyes on their wings. The patterns and colors on butterfly wings are produced by scales, which are modified hairs that cover the wing surface. These scales reflect and refract light, creating the iridescent and colorful patterns that we see. While the wings themselves do not have eyes, butterflies do have compound eyes, which are located on their head and are used for vision.

No, butterflies do not have eyes on their wings. The colorful patterns on butterfly wings are created by the arrangement and pigmentation of specialized scales.
