At Jim’s Jungle Retreat, the mud-puddling behavior of butterflies adds a fascinating dimension to the natural spectacle. The Lime Butterfly and Common Mormon Butterfly are notable examples, as seen in this video taken by our naturalist Jeewan Rautela. These butterflies exhibit a unique behavior where they gather in groups to sip on mineral-rich moisture found in mud, damp soil, or even animal dung. This behavior is essential for obtaining vital nutrients like salts and minerals, which aid in their reproductive and survival processes.
Watching these colorful winged creatures flutter and congregate, forming a beautiful mosaic of colors, is a captivating sight that enhances the enchantment of the jungle resort experience.
