Omnipedia entry

Graphium antiphates

Garden Zone

Five-bar swordtails often gather around mud puddles formed after rain.

This behavior is to replenish the salt and minerals their bodies need.

These butterflies aren't the only insects attracted to the mud puddle. Despite being "armed" with "swords," they are but frail butterflies, and won't show any aggression towards the other insects that have come to share.
