FACTS ABOUT BUTTERFLY

The butterfly is an insect that has four coloured wings. The body is slender and is divided into three parts, the head, the thorax and the abdomen. The head of the butterfly is small and round. It consists of the brain, the sensory organs and the mouth parts. It has a pair of large compound eyes. The butterfly has two antennas which stick out from its head. The antennas serve as smelling organs. They are used to locate food. The mouth is located between the eyes. The proboscis, which looks like a sharp straw, is used to take in food.

The thorax is the middle part of the body. It contains powerful flight muscles and it carries the wings and the legs. The abdomen is tube like in shape and usually consists of six segments. It consists of the heart, the respiratory, reproductive and digestive organs. The butterfly breathes through about ten holes called spiracles. Like all insects, the butterfly lays eggs which hatch into larvae. The larvae are called caterpillars. The caterpillars develops into the pupa. The pupa does not move about. It is usually suspended by a thread to a leaf or tree branch or it may be hidden in the ground. If the pupa survives, it develops into a butterfly after some time.
The butterfly is very useful to humans. It pollinates our flowers and crops. By doing this, it makes it possible for us to have plenty of food to eat.

Natural soil

Natural soils are influenced by rainfall and temperature,heavy rain causes the soil to become leached. High temperatures increase the rate of decomposition of organic matter in the soil, thereby lowering its humus content. Thus, climatic conditions tend to produce poor soils in the tropics and rich soils in the temperate regions. Besides climate and vegetation, the parent rock material also contributes to the quality of the soil. For example volcanic rocks tend to produce fertile soils. Laterite, a red soil which is a product of leaching, is commonly found in the tropics. It is composed mainly of iron and aluminium compounds,and poor in humus and essential plant nutrients, such as phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium. The black and brown soil of the temperate grasslands are the world's richest soils, with a high mineral and humus content. The light coloured desert soils tend to be very rich in minerals but have a low humus content. Mainly the soils ar...

What do women really want?

What men want is thought to be understood quite well. In general, their sexual desire is orderly, consistent, and narrowly directed. A heterosexual man is heterosexual. If you show him heterosexual sex, his sexual physiology and subjective, reported desire rise in tandem. Homosexual sex will leave him cold both physically and emotionally. For men, there is an excellent match between physiological arousal (as measured by penile tumescence) and level of reported desire. Viagra’s success demonstrates the simplicity of the male mechanism. Viagra does not target desire, but works by increasing genital blood flow, allowing erection. This, apparently, is all that is needed in many cases. As the penis rises, desire is already waiting. For women, the story is different. The female body, studies show , likes everything, or at least responds to everything (or does not know what it likes, some cynics will say). Female physiological arousal (as measured by vaginal lu...

What the Bible says about marriage and divorce

Matthew 5:31-32 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce, but I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Mark 10:2-12 Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” 3 “What did Moses command you?” he replied. 4 They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away" “It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied. 6 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female. 7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, 8 and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate" When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this. ...
