Hi, has anyone ever observed this interesting behavior. This butterfly was trying to consume bird dropping but it was dry. Then the butterfly put its own excrement on the bird dropping to make it softer and easy to consume. I have never seen this until now. Interesting indeed. Is this possible? Thanks for any info. buggub attached the following image:  [86.44Kb] |
