Fuscous Swallowtail

Guardian: Hank

Papilio fuscus

Many Butterflies like this swallowtail fly erratically. This means they Fly as if they were Drunk, and the drunker they fly, the more unpredictable or undefinable they are and the more likely to escape predators. I wonder what would happen if they got Drunk – would they fly co-ordinately and get eaten?
