The Queen Alexandra caterpillar eats a toxic pipevine

plant, the Aristolochia schlecteri, on which it is hatched.

The adult will feed on the liquid nectar of flowers.

It is toxic and caused the butterfly to cause illness in any predator who follishly eats it.

My butterfly's wing is badly bent and crashes when it flies so how do I repair the wing?

To repair a butterfly's wing, gently hold the butterfly with its wings closed. Use a small brush to apply a thin layer of clear nail polish on the damaged area of the wing. Allow the nail polish to dry completely before releasing the butterfly.


What does a butterfly do with a brock wing?

If you mean "broke wing", then alright: What does a bird do with its own broken wing? Well, it usually hops around a bit until a cat or larger bird catches it and kills it. A butterfly is a bit like that, but since many species are poisonous (or just mimics the look of a poisonous species, such as the Tiger Swallowtail mimicking the Monarch Butterfly), a smart bird tends to avoid them regardless of the opportunity of easy prey. So, without both wings functioning properly to aid it in flight to search for food and/or make a quick gettaway if trouble were to present itself, the butterfly either starves to death or gets crushed by feet, hooves, car tires, and so on. Random, Stupid, and Completely Obvious Fact: most insects can't replace or heal damaged body parts, though if it's something like a leg, the insect usually does fine.
