  • Well, that’s awesome. I hope to photograph a Viceroy one day, but I don’t think I’m in their current habitat.

    I baby sat for a kid whose mom was a herpetologist. She showed me the line on the Viceroy’s wings, differentiating it from a Monarch, and taught me it was poisonous to predators.

    Then she stuck a snapping turtle in my face, scarring me for life. She was pretty damn awesome.



  • Huh, that’s really interesting about the butterflies. Do you know if that’s how Pipevines & Viceroys developed their poison?

    I didn’t know there were poisonous butterflies until I read about Pipevines coating their clutches with poison for protection.

    I found out about mushrooms the fun way.
