Almost every butterfly I see bobs up and down while they fly. Do they have the same fluid system for balance that we do? How do they navigate the world and what is their system for balance?

They do not have an inner ear, which is our fluid filled organ that gives us orientation. The reason that you get dizzy after spinning is that while you may have stopped the fluid in your ear has not. this fluid interacts with tiny hairs that give you a sense of motion. A butterfly orientation is achieved by their antennae.
