Location: Young Harris, GA, Brasstown Vally Resort
I am a Limenitis arthemis,
Or, Red-spotted Purple butterfly.
I have another form called the White Admiral
And sometimes we hybridize.
I eat the leaves from shrubs and trees
When I'm a caterpillar and young.
As a butterfly I like to eat nectar,
As well as rotting fruit, carrion, and dung.
