Butterflies are common all over the world, but the ones in hotter countries are usually bigger and more brightly colored than those in cooler countries and there are more different kinds. Usually the male butterflies more brightly colored than the female. The female have bigger and heavier bodies since they carry the eggs.The gay(鲜艳的)colors of the males help to attract(吸引) the female, and the duller colors of the females make them less likely to be caught by enemies before they have laid their eggs.

Every year in Britain almost 4,000 people die in accidents in the home. Three million people go to hospital each year because of accidents in the home. Children under the age of five and older people are most likely to have an accident at home.
