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".
