I am now adding life stage annotations for the five-bar swordtail butterfly because it's really pretty and I found an observation for it at random while looking at insects

🦋 Real Five-bar Swordtail (Graphium antiphates) 🦋 Los antifatos de Graphium o la espada espada de cinco barras , es una especie de mariposa papiliónida que se encuentra en el sur y sureste de Asia . La especie fue descrita por primera vez por Pieter Cramer en 1775. Es conocida por el encharcamiento de lodo , o simplemente encharcamiento , es un comportamiento muy visible en las mariposas , pero también ocurre en otros animales, principalmente insectos; buscan nutrientes en ciertas sustancias húmedas, como la materia vegetal en descomposición, el lodo y la carroña, y absorben el líquido. Por lo general, el comportamiento de charcos de lodo se lleva a cabo en suelos húmedos. Pero incluso el sudor en la piel humana puede ser atractivo para las mariposas como las especies de Halpe. Las fuentes más inusuales incluyen sangre y lágrimas. . . . #butterflies🦋 #butterflyillustration #watercolorillustrations #watercolor_daily #retobertallonch #retomariposario #mariposailustrada #mariposario #mariposa #watercolour #Aquarell #acuarela #wildlifeonearth #wildlifewatercolor #fauna #faunailustrada #ilustracioncientifica #scientificillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CANraw0jAR4/?igshid=li3cb77if9h0
