Why are insects important?

We investigated butterflies and flowers today to find out why butterflies, birds and bees are so important to have in the garden.

 The butterflies we looked at are not native butterflies. They do not live in new Zealand.

We opened up the petals to look for some pollen. "They smell beautiful", said Faris.  

Lots of children wish they were butterflies or bees so they could help the flowers to grow and make seeds.
