thorax

thorax
This is broken into three
segments, each with a
pair of jointed legs. Four
wings are attached to two
of the segments. On the
second and third
segments the spiracles
are found and in many
families the auditory
organs are found on the
third segment, or
metathorax

wings

wings
Butterflies have two pairs
of these, which enable
flight.
They are thin, brightly
colored and covered in
scales. Their hollow
ribbing, or veins provide
support.
When at rest these are
folded in an upright
position.
