Jonah - Current Events - Glasswing Butterfly

WALT: Analyse media with an open but critical eye to inform our own opinions

Today I did another article, this article is about the different types of butterflies but the butterfly they were focusing on the most was the Glasswing butterfly. Did you know that Mexico is the home to the world's largest pyramid the Quetzalcóatl Pyramid, here is my Activity.

The main group in this article are a team of researchers from an American University. The key event in this article is a butterfly that has glass wings (Glasswing Butterfly). This event took place in Colombia where the Glasswing Butterfly lives they also live in South America, the Central American countries of Mexico. This event took place on the 17th of July 2021. 

This story is about the different types of butterflies but the one that the story was focusing on the most was the Glasswing-Butterfly, there are 10,00 butterfly species a lot of them have brightly coloured wings, but did you know that moths have more species, only a but of butterflies have transparent wings so then a team of researchers from a American University decided to study about the Glasswing butterfly.
