About Battus polydamas:
Although we were amazed by the butterfly, as much as we searched, we could not find its host plant, however, the next day we found this fascinating #EndemicPlant of #Atacama, #Coquimbo and the #MetropolitanRegion of #Chile which was recently revalidated as Aristolochia pearceii, or as the locals call it, "fox ear".

Sobre Battus polydamas:
Si bien quedamos maravilladas por la mariposa, por mucho que buscamos, no pudimos encontrar a su planta hospedera, sin embargo, al día siguiente encontramos esta fascinante #PlantaEndemica de Atacama, Coquimbo y la Región Metropolitana de Chile, la que recientemente fue revalidada como Aristolochia pearceii, o como los lugareños la llaman, "oreja de zorro".
