Monarch Butterflies are my favorite and I just love how beautiful they are.

I was so star struck that I had to take a picture. One of my favorite moments of 2024.
I love butterflies so much and when I saw that you did a science live about butterflies I was so excited and just had to click on.
What are the antennas on butterflies for?
I love butterflies. They are Beautiful. I once saw a butterfly migration. By the way y’all are doing a great job to help us. Thank you
I agree with Sundancer. We should seriously have a dance class. Also, I really like how Pajet had a butterfly on her shoulder in the video and how she got to set one out on its first flight. I also think it would be very interesting to have a butterfly class.
I love butterflies they are so gorgeous.
What a wonderful world…
Insects are animals.
Glasswing butterflies are my ultimate favorite!- It’s because they are the most unique I’ve ever seen. They are NOT normal. Even though you cannot see any veins, their wings are see-through!!! That’s why I favor them.
Butterflies are cool.
And the Hydrogen part was very interesting
My favorite is the Glasswing butterfly, and my fav spider is the peacock spider!
My favorite butterfly’s are the yellow ones

Butterfly’s are so cool!!!!!🤩

Excited to learn about butterflies
But a fishing course would be nice

I loved learning about how some of the butterflies only eat nectar and others only eat from rotten fruit. Butterflies are so unique, and I want to visit a place like this one day!
Milkweed plants are so beautiful! I will be planting those in my garden so that we can have a bunch of butterflies because butterflies are also beautiful.
omg wow i went to the same place butterfly i never knew they went too!!
When is the butterfly course coming out? I totally want to be in it 🙂

Thanks Mr.Billings for posting these videos I really love how interesting you make learning everything. : )
i would like a fishing class
and i have also been to the butterfly palace
I went to a butterfly botanical garden in Colombia (Calarca, Quindio, website-jardinbotanicoquindio.org) and the butterfly house is the shape of a butterfly as well. There were hundreds if not thousands of butterflies everywhere. So many different kinds in size, and in colors. They would land on your head, face, hands so delicately. It was really magical.
so cool
How long can a catapillar live?
Butterflies are my favorite!
I’d love to study about butterflies
(Well actually koalas would have four thumbs in total, two on either paw)
I watched this for Scholarship credit. Also, a butterfly class would be cool, but I would love an animal class!! Like a zoology or veterinary class, talking about animals act, what they feed on, where they live, and how many species there are. Also with really cool facts like how koalas have TWO thumbs!
Butterfly class Butterfly class Butterfly class Butterfly class Butterfly class Butterfly class!!!!!!!!PLEASE????
i love butterfly’s, they are so cool
Wow! hey? are moths kinda like butterflys?
Awesome butterfly’s.
The monarch butterfly, with its majestic wings and regal presence, reigns supreme in the world of fluttering beauties. It’s not just a butterfly; it’s a winged work of art, a sky-bound traveler, and a symbol of transformation. These orange-and-black wonders make the most epic journey, putting even the most seasoned globetrotters to shame. So, if you’re ever feeling wanderlust, just remember: the monarch butterfly has got you beat, migrating thousands of miles with nothing but the power of its delicate wings and a built-in GPS that puts your smartphone to shame.
My sister and I adore butterflies. We’ve observed an orange butterfly at three different stages of development, as there were several butterflies within the same group, each at varying stages. and i was like omg ive never seen anything like it so this video is very cool. 😁👍💕💕
Butterflies are so beautiful
I would like a butterfly class

Thank you Mr.Billings and Mrs.Pajet for your videos!
I watched this for Scholarship credit. I missed the first week.
It is so cool to learn about hydrogen. I did not learn about it before.
I have the same rock on the intro!
What is the life span of a butterfly?
Could we learn more on butterflies? We have the SF Science Academy that mimics a tropical rain forests where the butterflies fly freely.
Is it possible that we can find new “ flavors” of hydrogen?
I would love to be in a Butterfly class! If one is made count me in!! My favorite butterfly is Black Swallowtail, but they all amaze me.
