I’ve personally witnessed butterflies cannibalizing other dead butterflies.
And irritate eyes to drink tears

New fear unlocked.
Also just remembered the Silence of the Lambs cover…might be a reason it was so scary.

Oh thats a good one. I never paid much attention to the butterflies on that cover.

I’m quite certain that it was a moth on the silence of the lambs poster and not a butterfly

It was 28 years ago, you’re probably right.

They get additional vitamins and minerals to supplement their diet from feces and carrion. They will barely scratch the surface.

In a fantasy world I designed, a butterfly is one of the worst killers. Its touch is toxic, landing on any exposed skin is deadly, but in a horrible way. The victim is just paralyzed, not killed, and the butterfly returns to the victim to lay its eggs, and the larvae eat their way into the still living body…

Butterflies do not piss. They exude all of their waste water as a pure water mist.

For those of you with kids that like Peppa Pig, you can let them know sometimes butterflies drink from muddy puddles to get their minerals too ❤️

Aren’t butterflies much older than flowers ?
