I found these two butterflies enjoying the fruit at the upcoming Wings of Fancy Butterfly Exhibit that opens this weekend at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton. MD. In the foreground is a Blue Clipper and in the background is a Morpho. Some of the butterflies on display feed on fruit while others feed on nectar from the plants in the flight house. These two species are from the tropics and feed on fruit in the wild.
