The Abdomen


Butterfly anatomy The abdomen is relatively soft and is divided into 10 segments (7-8 are easily seen, the others are fused). The abdomen contains the butterfly or moth's simple, flexible, tube-like heart, Malpighian tubules, reproductive organs (claspers or ovipositors), many spiracles (breathing pores), and most of the digestive system (foregut, hindgut and rectum).
