Where do butterflies go when it rains?

Butterflies take shelter when it rains and in strong winds. They react as soon as they sense changes in atmospheric pressure and light.

They usually go to the same places they use for the night, and typically settle head down with their wings folded together in a sheltered, dry spot, for example the underside of a branch in a dense tree. Some hide under large leaves or between stones, while others hang head down with folded wings in bushes or on stalks in tall grass.

Should the unfriendly weather last for several days, the butterfly copes perfectly well.
