Dangerous Beauty

I had to alter today's fun fact a little because I felt like it was a bit intense for school lunch. The fact I originally stumbled across said there was a butterfly in Africa that had enough poison to kill up to six average house cats. This is what I changed it to.


My altered version is also true, and doesn't involve explicitly killing any pets. The butterfly is Papilio Antimachus, also known as the African Giant Swallowtail. It's found in the tropical rainforests of western and central Africa. Wikipedia says its range stretches through eleven countries. My five minute sketch does it no favors. It's a beautiful butterfly with wings in much better proportion than those seen above.
