Which part of a butterfly's body helps protect it from predators?

Answer 1

Wings, blood.

In addition to helping a butterfly escape from a bipedal, terrestrial object, wings can act as a camouflage to shield a butterfly from predators.

Blood can also be poisonous. When milkweed plants are consumed by certain butterflies during their larval stage, they absorb a steroid called cardenolides, which turns them toxic. Once a predator consumes a butterfly with these characteristics, other predators will no longer pursue the same kind of butterfly.

The wings of a butterfly, with their bright colors and patterns, serve as a deterrent to predators, signaling toxicity or bad taste.
