Butterfly extinction? No Way.

A butterfly is one of the most studied insect by scientist and students alike which make it surprising to find out that two new species have just been discovered. It is ironic that these two butterflies were found at the same time same place. Although looking completely alike on the outside further studying made it known that the two species have different DNA patterns. Unfortunately the only way to tell the species apart is by the DNA because the two species have the exact same patterns on their wings. It is weird to know that so many different types of butterflies exist. There may thousands of more butterflies out there that we don't know about.
