Butterfly odors...

[Citheronia at aol.com]

Hello all...

Once a few years back, I remember a good friend of mine in Louisiana told me 
to smell a tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus). Of course I thought he was 
kidding, but of course I went out there and tried it, and it smelled just 
like the popular breakfast cereal "Fruit Loops!!" Another fellow told me to 
smell an Aporia craetegi, and even having been caught 20+ years before, it 
still had a scent like that of a common thing (I forget what it is though). 
Of course it was still papered, I'm sure a spread specimen would lose it's 
scent. I was just wondering what other butterflies are out there that bear 
familiar scents? I would be very interested in knowing of any other 
Lepidopterans to smell. And to the rest of you, take a whiff of the next 
tiger swallowtail you encounter!

Thanks,
Randy
