Long Answer

Solution

Butterflies help with pollination, which supports plant reproduction. As pollination increases, the flora also increases. Butterflies feed on many weeds found in nature, and some species also prey on harmful insects. Their beautiful colours make the environment pleasant and attractive. Butterflies avoid polluted and barren areas, so they serve as indicators of a healthy environment. Therefore, the presence of butterflies in an area indicates that the ecosystem is in balance.
