The articles you find on Butterfly Revolt range across a variety of environments, species, and topics.

• Our story on cell activities and processes describes the thousands of events taking place constantly in the smallest parts that make up our world. Imagine a factory with the precision of our most advanced technology, working non-stop to produce energy, transport materials, and build new products. Then try to imagine that process taking place time and time again in the cells that make up everything we are and experience.
• We examine Arthropods by taking a close look at the Japanese Spider Crab. These gangly, angular creatures live for almost for a century, stalking the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Now, humankind is making an effort to protect them from extinction.
• Butterfly Revolt presents images and information on mollusks, soft-bodied creatures that include snails, clams and the octopus. They number in the thousands with many more yet to be discovered.

We focus on basic, everyday science and bring it to life with vivid images, details, and links to additional information. This helps you get the most from your visit and lets you find even more of what you want.

A Class of Its Own

Butterfly Revolt offers content based on the system of biological classification, a special method for grouping and categorizing every organism on Earth.

There are eight main ranks in this system: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. The most general rank is the domain, while kingdom is more specific, and phylum even more specialized. As an example, tigers and gorillas are both in the animal kingdom and both in the Mammalia class. However, they differ at the level of order. Tigers are “carnivora”, while gorillas are “primates” (just like human beings!) This biological classification allows scientists and Butterfly Revolt to know and understand every living thing, from the smallest insect to the greatest bird of prey.

You do not need to know the system of biological classification to enjoy Butterfly Revolt, but you just might find yourself picking up these new ideas along the way. And that’s the best thing about joining in our website: you become part of the environment all around you in ways that challenge your ideas about the world. And you get to do it all from the comfort of your computer screen!
