This, I know, having had chickens for years. They even look sort of dino-ish up close.
Vampire Butterflies
How does that work? You take the butterfly on a binge weekend and ask it to choose between flower juice and blood?
They'll drink urine, too. I think they'll drink anything with any sugar in it, blood and pee included.

I wish I didn't know this. My son at 6 was afraid of butterflies. He liked to look, but the idea of them landing on him freaked him out. I told him, don't worry, butterflies only drink flower juice. To which he replied "And sometimes people juice." I still call blood people juice. I just didn't know my kid was right.
The insect world is extreme: blood siphoning is a quest for nutrients but insects are cannibalistic. Insects are very needed as a mass collective, to supply every food web in every ecosystem on Earth.
wow even butterflys can be a jaws or butterjaws or butterfly jaws some on help...
As weird as it sounds, I've seen a few pics of dead bodies outdoors with a buncha butterflies all over them or all over the puddles of blood.
This would actually be a pretty cool fact to somehow incorporate into my story....
They love sweat, I know this from experience, but I've only heard about butterflies drinking blood and I've never seen one doing so.
I've seen pictures of dead bodies where they're doing it. Pretty crazy.

I learned this a few years ago and I can never look at butterflies the same. I figured this out because I stepped on something, bled, and while I was sitting and waiting for help from family, a butterfly dropped down and started drinking from the little puddle. Did research after that and found out it’s because they need the minerals

I like how it went from interesting science to random comments lol
If you weren't thought at least 30% of that at school I have bad news for you...
Dear Mother Nature, I applaud you! You have one hell of an imagination!
The "facts" for the bigfin squid and for the flamingo are funny, but the entry for the christmas tree worm was barely even phoned in...
I looked at this tab 2 days after it was created and absolutely no comments then I look today COMMENTS GALORE
This gave me a smile and i got phobias at the same time. Good times
One other fact - rats can't vomit. It's why they're easy to kill with poison.
neither can horses which is why windsucking/cribbing is bad
