Frequently Asked Questions
Do Butterflies sleep?
- When butterflies cannot keep their temperatures at activity levels, when it's cloudy, or at night they become quiescent.
- This quiescence, or resting, is not equivalent to human sleep.
- Butterflies always have their eyes open, since they do not have eyelids and they probably do not dream.
- It's probably best just to consider that they become inactive.
