GalleryNATURETINY SURPRISESBUTTERFLIES ... Satyr Comma (Patygonia satyrus)
prev next
This little beauty stopped just long enough to pose for a few snaps then piroutted away. Though you may think of butterflies as being great pollinators, Satyr Commas prefer tree sap over nectar, so they wouldn't often then go flower hopping. But interestingly, they'll drink from fruit, moist ground, and excrement. So when it paused on this bench, it may have found a damp patch to sip at, as much as stopping to rest.
