Butterflys are carnivorous? That's the second new thing I've learned this morning
It's probably just opportunistic nutrition, or whatever the term is called when a deer eats a bird...
It's too late. The image is seared into my brain. They are carnivorous monsters
There's a butterfly pavilion near me that I want to take you to. Definitely not to watch you freak out...
Well ok, if you say it's safe
It's okay, you'll be wearing a beekeeper suit.
But I don't want to see any bees...
Unless they're the knees
They're puddling
Neat to know, thanks!
This led me to Sweat bees and a photo of a bee licking sweat. I am again amazed by Wikipedia.

I knew I was scared of those fuckers for a reason
Depends on the species. Some will stick to flowers, but some will eat even blood or shit
Yes, some types of Butterflies are, you can see also sometimes Butterflies sucking wounds of cattle and others on farms.

What's the first?
When people in Sweden settled an area with a hill it could be called a “Something-bjer”. Bjer means hill and is close to the modern word Berg.
That is an interesting fact, thank you!
Salt perhaps.
