Thoughts From The Short Bus
There are colors that we humans don’t even know about that only animals can see, insects, butterflies specifically.
This helps them discriminate among different plants they want to tap. So bugs are bigger racists than we are.
Really makes you think huh? I saw a beautiful pure white butterfly fluttering about this morning. Figured it must be either enjoying the beautiful day or maybe looking for something to eat.
Well, it was the latter. It landed on a big pile of dog turds and started climbing all over them, really chowing down.
I’ll never feel the same way after today about butterflies.

Absolutely. Even the plants use it to their advantage, like laying out the (infra)red carpet that only a bee can see.

Had a similar change of en’deer’ment after seeing a doe using her tongue as toilet paper on each of her two fawns. Didn't know THAT was in the job description.
