Rainforest Butterflies LOVE rotten bananas! (and get drunk!?)

[@guschaillot]

i love Peru most beautiful country in South America for me.

[@FilbieTron]

6 years ago today I was in Costa Rica hiking along a trail back from a waterfall. I was by myself and encountered both the owl spot butterfly AND a blue morpho both grazing on fermenting mangos along the trail. I’ve never felt so magical than that moment when the blue morpho opened its wings. Unforgettable day. 🥰

[@gonzalonarvaezordoya7742]

Peru is the country with the most species of butterflies in the world, it is the third country with the most biodiversity on earth after Brazil and Indonesia.

[@bearfranklin42]

So question what ever became of the botfly that was living on you 8mt

[@felipesolanomartinelli404]

Peru has the third largest extent of tropical rainforests in the world, after Brazil and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I listened to you on the Ologies podcast with Alie Ward and you were fantastic! Thanks for sharing knowledge!!!

[@cookiebuster652]

What happened to your baby botfly??

[@andrewsinclair7159]

Rotten bananas work, but if you want to get butterflies drunk for 100% sure, pour a shallow layer of cheap red wine into a dish, then put fresh fruit slices into it. The wine will soak into the fruit, and butterflies will come to feed and become drunk. If you leave that outside on a sunny afternoon for a couple hours, you will come back to find a really lit butterfly rager in progress.

Such an amazing video, this channel deserves to be as big as brave wilderness

[@nathanielwise508]

bigger even. actual scientific integrity and education > sensationalizing nature

[@estebanperi]

I didn't know that was a morpho too, I am used to seeing a more iridescent blue one but I live in Costa Rica.

[@Ashley6]

My kids and I love your channel!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@f_r_e_d]

I’d be a drunk butterfree too if I had to crawl for most of my life, avoiding beaks, webs, and stings

[@prosciencedude7695]

Wow! That's a nice trick Phil!! I wouldn't expected that the rotten bananas would make a butterfly trap! The Blue Morpho is kinda difficult to find! I am a Butterfly Fan too! I would to do something for them.

[@SzalonyTygrys69]

Couple years ago I read a book about butterfly catcher, he said that the most rare species love pissed fruits xD

[@pradipkumardas5960]

I wonder , if either of you have seen a vampire moth

[@thormaster06]

Let's play a game!! How long does it take for Phil to put a bug on his face? The answer is 6 minutes and 40 seconds!! 🤣😂

[@ethanbrowncomposer]

So cool! I get to raise some of these species. My Charaxes get very drunk.

[@Eucalyptus812]

I love your videos specially the ones about butterflies 🦋, even that I'm afraid of them I like to learn about it, I have mottephobia, there's no way that I will touch the one that looks like an owl 🦉, my problem is the wings. Anyway thanks for sharing this amazing videos 👍🏻

[@Jamminjared]

Hey Phil! Greetings from Miami! Great to see your new video. First discovered you from "Big Metal Bird"! Enjoy your stuff! :)

[@RubabRubab-cn8zj]

I really appreciate your videos because these are very good for me

[@janiceoldham1794]

For science I like mangoes in a fermented concoction🤷‍♀️

[@jaymartinjr.3316]

I need to go to Costa Rica!

[@MBroam]

Would this method work for Southern North American butterflies?

[@TheJungleDiaries]

Some species! Like the goatweed butterfly, and likely some moths, too

[@ethanbrowncomposer]

Goatweed leafwing, Tawny and Hackberry emperors, Question marks, and a few others.

[@erickterrones3394]

Panacea prola....The scientists say they will continue to observe the animals for at least a year...

Such an amazing video but very distracting... 😏😏😏 Phil is so distracting... In so many good ways😍😍

[@GuentherJohnny]

Amazing footage! I’d suggest if you provide “science” information that you don’t quote evolution as a fact

[@TheTravelingClatt]
