When I first saw this color, it didn't completely take me off guard because I saw it in other organisms are well.
What I noticed about the insect was that it didn't absorb all the pigments in the food it consumed. It reminded me of snails because like the butterfly, snails also excrete the colors of the food they consumed such as the orange color of carrots or green colors of lettuce. However, even though I had already been able to view this earlier, it was still a fascinating fact to find.
