sure, but what if the butterflies were mutations and were actually carnivores? ouch!
Talk about a slow death. Butterflies have such small bodies that they wouldn't be able to eat much at once. I wonder... With such small bodies, which would happen? Would you heal over the wounds faster than they could eat, or would they actually slowly eat their way through your body?

There are parasitic moths in the jungles of South America, I believe. Was watching a nature show on the weekend and some guy took photos of these moths as they were drinking the tear-drops from his eyes .. they continually irritate the eye so that more teardrops will be produced.
