Question

What is the best estimate of the mass of a butterfly

Answer 1

"Dr. Paul Opler states, "I have some information on butterfly weights but not exact weights for the largest and smallest butterflies. However, I can make pretty good guesses. I have weights ranging from 0.3 gram for a large swallowtail to 0.04 gram for a small butterfly called the elf."

from the intern3t

Answer 2

It would most likely 0.02 - 0.03 because if u think about it there wings don't weight more than about 0.1 and if the wings can hold up the body of the butterfly then i would assume that it would weight between 0.02 - 0.03.
