How many times do a butterfly flap there wings per second?

The number of times a butterfly flaps its wings per second varies depending on the species of butterfly. Some butterflies, like the monarch butterfly, can flap their wings up to 20 times per second, while others, like the hummingbird butterfly, can flap their wings up to 200 times per second. This ability to flap their wings so rapidly allows butterflies to fly efficiently and maneuver quickly in the air.
