Kallima inachus or dead leaf butterfly is a nymphalid butterfly found in Tropical Asia from India to Japan. With wings closed, it closely resembles a dry leaf with dark veins and is a spectacular and commonly cited example of camouflage. (Source & Source)
i legit thought that was a dead leaf just standing up on its own
someone on the comments said “this is why some leaves don’t crunch.”
Turtles cry tears that attract butterflies so that when the butterflies settle on the turtles head to drink the tears the turtle will eat them.
That took one hell of a turn…
Lmao. I just looked this up and the Butterflies do drink the turtle’s tears, idk about turtles eating them tho. Apparently tho, their are countries that actually have butterflies as desert!
