six..how many do they think they have?

Butterfly wings are made of very fragile scales that if touched by humans, could cause permanant damage. The wings are normally patterned for camoflage or scaring away predators.

Queen Alexandra's Birdwing is the largest butterfly in the world, with a wingspan up to 1 foot (30 cm). This tropical butterfly is from the Rainforest in northern Papua New Guinea. The caterpillars eat the pipevine plant, which contains poison; this makes the butterfly toxic to predators, which will get sick if they eat it. They quickly learn to leave these huge butterflies alone.\n\nAlso just for your edification, the smallest butterfly is the Nepticulid moth, which is 0.1 inch long.

Star fish have five *arms* (or, sometimes, multiples of five or six arms).  Their legs are called "tube feet" and are found in the grooves under the arms.  They have an even number of them!\n\nMost animals have an even number of legs because they are symmetrical along a single axis, so both sides end up looking the same.  The only way to have an odd number would be to not be bilaterally symmetrical (and the only animals who aren't don't have legs!) or to have a leg in the middle, which wouldn't be much use.\n\nThe only "exception" to this would be an insect-like animal called the springtail.  It's not really a leg, but they do have their abdomen bent over and underneath them.  They use it to spring very high into the air, so you could call it a leg of a sort.  Sprintails are neat.  They are very common, but most people never notice them because they are mostly quite small.

It can die if touched too much.  When touched by humans, the wings tend to lose some scales. If too many scales are lost, the butterfly's ability to fly will be impaired. The scales on the butterfly wings have many properties, mostly optical.  Butterflies are very fragile & best viewed by sight & not by touch.

Insects are all hexapods.  Other arthropods have more legs, that's the essential.  If it has more than 6 legs, it's not an insect.  Spiders are not insects.

A centipede has a pair of legs for every segment of its body.\nThis makes it differ from millipede which has at least two pairs of legs for every segment

Somewhere between 6 and 8 miles per hour but unfortunately the butterfly dies before it has reached 10 miles of flight..☺

Centipedes very, very rarely have 100 legs. Most have between 20 and 50. Some have as few as 8, and a handful of species have 100 or more.

most mammals have four appendages, they just evolved differently. humans evolved into arms and legs with very different uses. rodent type animals have front feet they can use as hands, as do most monkeys. beasts of burden and their predators maintained four legs for obvious reasons.

The length of these journeys far exceeds the lifetime of a Monarch (lives four days as egg, two weeks as caterpillar, ten days as chrysalis, and two to six weeks as a butterfly). \n\n\nMetamorphosis\nThe life cycle of a Monarch includes a change of form called complete metamorphosis. The Monarch goes through four radically different stages:\n\nThe eggs are laid by the females during spring and summer breeding months. \nThe eggs hatch, revealing worm-like larva, the caterpillars. The caterpillars consume their egg cases, then feed on milkweed, and sequester substances called cardenolides, related to the cardiac glycoside digitalis. During the caterpillar stage, Monarchs store energy in the form of fat and nutrients to carry them through the non-feeding pupa stage. \nIn the pupa or chrysalis stage, the caterpillar spins a silk pad on a twig, leaf, etc. and hangs from this pad by its last pair of prolegs. It hangs upside down in the shape of a 'J', and then molts, leaving itself encased in an articulated green exoskeleton. At this point, hormonal changes occur, leading to the development of a butterfly. \nThe mature butterfly emerges after about two weeks.

ONE OF IT'S LEGS ARE BOTH THE SAME

Butterflies and some moths are beautiful and they have 6 legs.

i don't know about legs, but they have too many roots for me to count. 1 or 0 i would think

This is a very interesting question!  Many famous evolutionary biologists have had cracks at answering similar questions.  The basic idea is that over the course of evolution - from ancient fish to ancient amphibians to ancient tetrapods - there were constraints in the development of the body plans to make a pelvis for holding the hindlimbs and a shoulder girdle for holding the forelimbs.  For physical reasons these two morphological features have not evolved in other locations along the body, because of this, tetrapods have only four legs.

Less than 5cm.  Beacuase there is less friction on a smooth surface, the caterpillar's legs will get less traction on the surface.
