🦋 Five things we love about swallowtail butterflies.
They taste with their feet. They wave fake snake tongues at predators. And some of them are such convincing impostors that birds won’t touch them — even though they’re completely harmless.
Swallowtails are one of nature’s great show-offs, and we are absolutely here for it.
Found on every continent except Antarctica, these ancient wanderers have been gracing the world’s hedgerows, meadows, and gardens for tens of millions of years. If you spot one this summer, take a moment — you’re in the presence of something genuinely extraordinary.
