I often hear about one habit of butterflies, which is perching on flowers to suck their nectar. But today what I found was a butterfly perching on a guava to suck its juice. This is a type of Tanaecia Pelea butterfly perching on a guava fruit that has been eaten by bats. The butterfly is sticking an organ in its mouth to suck the juice of the guava fruit.

This type of Tanaecia Pelea butterfly has a fairly large body, if you look closely, its body is similar to a caterpillar that has wings. Pale yellow like batik cloth with an interesting motif. Here are some photos that I share, the results of my cellphone camera shots.
Thank you to all my friends who have stopped by my post this time. Hopefully the photos I share can please all my friends.
