What is that ' powder ' on butterfly wings ??

 We all have tried to catch a butterfly sitting on flower in childhood.

We catch the butterfly by its folded wings.

When we release the butterfly, we kave observed some type of powder on our fingers which were used to capture it.

What is this powder   ???

Butterfly 's wings are made up of incredibly thin membranes.  

These membranes are covered with thousands of tiny scales.

These are the extension of single cell.

The powdery substance that rubs off ,  are these scales.

They give vibrant colours to the wings and also offer protection.

Why Iran is not an Arab nation ??

 Iran is located in west Asia. Most of its people are Muslims. Its written language script looks similar to Arabic.

Yet IRAN IS NOT AN ARAB COUNTRY  !!!

Difference stretch back thousands of years.

The word Iran comes from Indo - Iranian roots of people who built early Persian civilization.

Most people of Iran are Persians not Arabs !!!

Official language of Iran is Persian or Farsi. It belongs to Indo- European family of languages.

Arabic belongs to Semitic language family.

Both language speakers can not understand each other  !!!!

Arab Muslim forces conquered Persia in 7th century.  Islam slowly became the dominant religion.

But Persian language and identity instead of disappearing, continued !!!

Iran is a Muslim country and they are Shia Muslims.

Arab countries are Muslim countries majority Sunni Muslims.

Iran is not a member of Arab league.
