Animals
Music inspired by the Red-Spotted Purple butterfly, with a photo. Red-Spotted Purples are abundant in the Southeastern States in July and August. They're attracted to humans because they're composters who don't usually lick sweat off our skin, but love to slurp up the juices of our food scraps. They like savory vegetables, tomato sauce, fresh damp corncobs from which we've eaten off the corn, and other juicy savory dishes, as well as sweet fruits. They are in the group of butterflies that get some survival benefit from looking, from a distance, like the Pipevine Swallowtail; nevertheless, in the North, when individuals are exposed to cold enough temperatures, they look so different that they were thought for two hundred years to be a different species and called the American White Admiral.
