🚨BUTTERFLY BUTT TENTACLE!🚨 I’m finally editing photos from when I went to the @floridamuseum Butterfly Rainforest with @windforthesailboat_ , and I didn’t realize at the time that I witnessed a rice paper butterfly (Idea leuconoe) displaying its coremata!!!!! 🦋 The coremata is a hairy tentacle that protrudes from certain butterflies and moths while mating in order to release more pheromones. 👃🍆 🦋 Obviously, if I’d noticed this at the time, I would have tried to get an in-focus shot of that butterfly, but even so, the coremata is clearly visible! 🦋 If you want to have your mind blown, either watch the recent @thescishow YouTube video called “The Absolute Worst Thing About Butterflies” or google “tiger moth coremata” to see a species with four hairy tentacles that can be bigger than the rest of its body. 📸 🦋 🌿 #explorida #roamflorida #florida #flstofmind #floridaliving #gainesville #florida_greatshots #fun_in_florida #LoveFL #alachuacounty #visitgainesville #whyilovegnv #whatsgoodalachuacounty #nature #naturelovers #ricepaperbutterfly #coremata #idealeuconoe #butterfly @visitgainesville @lovefl @visitflorida (at Butterfly Rainforest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CemBTeYu-LE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
