Is a ULYSSES BUTTERFLY herbivore or omnivore?

Answer 1

The Ulysses butterfly, also known as Papilio ulysses, is primarily herbivorous. Its diet consists mainly of the nectar from flowers, which provides the necessary energy for its adult life. Additionally, the larvae (caterpillars) of Ulysses butterflies feed on specific host plants, which are typically leaves. Therefore, while the adult is strictly herbivorous, its lifecycle stages involve specific plant consumption.
