Butterflies have holes in their sides ...
..... like we have holes in our noses!
We breathe through our noses or mouths; air in, air
out. Butterflies and moths breathe a bit different than
we do.
Instead of lungs to oxygenate blood to be transported
to cells, butterflies work a bit more direct. Air in, air
out, through spiracles.
When air enters through spiracles, it goes into the
trachea and directly to cells.
More photos and info about spiracles ....

For Butterflies and For Humans ...
... we can all eat Rosemary!
Gulf Fritillary butterflies were enjoying my rosemary
today; at the same time, I was enjoying my rosemary
too.
Steak, potatoes, and rosemary make a
great combination.
Humans learn to share; butterflies can share too!
Rosemary is a delicious addition to
several dishes. Enjoy cooking with rosemary
with these recipes.
If you have a recipe that incorporates a butterfly host or
nectar plant that you would like to share, we'd be
honored to add your recipe to the newest addition to
our site; Cooking With Butterfly Host and Nectar Plants.

What are those red projections? They're

be offensive.

Great Purple Hairstreak ...
... mistletoe and not for Christmas!
Yes, mistletoe has a use other than stealing kisses.
Great Purple Hairstreak caterpillars eat mistletoe.
Their camouflage is so perfect that caterpillars are
very difficult to spot even when you are actually
touching one!
