I do not like articles that are so dumbed down that they do not use the scientifically-accurate words for phenomena.

What this article should have had — somewhere — is that butterflies are so colorful mostly due to aposematism and Batesian mimicry.

One of the reasons I completely stopped reading books aimed at kids at five or six is that I figured out they were completely stripped of real content that might help me be smarter. Though many of the books I tackled at that age were “over my head,” my head quickly grew larger and soon — within a year or so — no book was over my head.

I think most kids are probably capable of this, though in my near-complete disdain of what any adult said or thought was probably highly unusual.

Anyway, science articles should contain the correct terminology otherwise it makes it very hard for people to learn more if they choose to do so. This is particularly harmful to young people who are often more receptive and open to new knowledge and fun words than adults.
