Base Behavior of Butterflies...

Some butterflies are crop pests, however. And it's of interest that there
is a species of moth (and there is really no basic difference between moths
and butterflies--leps are no longer classified into Rhopalocera and Heter-
ocera) that sucks blood, quite painfully to the suckee.
