WTS? Is that Western Tiger Swallowtail, maybe? Butterflies do compete for food...or for mates (if males of the same species), so fighting happens. I've seen Gulf Fritillaries trying to chase both their own species and other species away quite often, since occasionally there's a lot of them around at the same time. Survival tecniques, maybe.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
