When I crouched down to take a look, I started learning a few new things about butterfly mating behavior. Ecology, Behavior and Binomics: Herbivore Handling of a Plant's Trichome: The Case of Heliconius charithonia (L.A taste for pollen is rare in the butterfly world - most species rely on sugar-laden nectar or fruit to provide the energy they need. Long-tailed skipper caterpillars-bean rollers- spend their days tucked into rolled up sections of bean plant leaves, coming out at night to eat.
