Yeah, Red-Spotted Purples and their cousins, the Viceroys, like gross stuff. The reason I don't see them very often is that they aren't interested in flowers. They like poop, sap, rotting fruit, etc. I see the RSP puddling a lot when I do see them. That's where they suck the minerals out of damp soil.

I like the Green-Veined White, too! Very cool!
