Feeding Lilies - _TNY_1971

A beautiful mylotes cattleheart (Parides eurimedes), also known as Arcas cattleheart, pink-checked cattleheart and true cattleheart having lunch on a plastic flower at the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna on the north side of Stockholm, Sweden.

 

Since sustaining enough flowers to feed all the butterflies there all year round with Swedish levels of sunlight is impossible, the butterflies are fed fruit but also plastic flowers doused with a sugary water - something this one was enjoying quite a lot.
