RE: Knowing the biodiversity-thundering butterfly

in Project HOPE2 days ago

Wow, I really enjoyed reading about the thundering butterfly 🌺! I never knew that the eye-shaped ocelli on their wings serve as a defense mechanism, or that they can actually make sounds with their forewings—that’s fascinating. I also found it interesting that you spotted them near decomposing organic material in your quarry; I wonder if that’s part of their natural attraction or just a coincidence with the rainfall season. Your detailed observation about their prostrating behavior was something I hadn’t noticed before either. Have you ever tried observing whether they prefer certain types of plants over others when they settle?
