Butterfly noise?
Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2006 2:44 pm
Hello
I was moving some logs during the winter when I came across a peacock butterfly, which I assume was hibernating.
As I looked closely it flashed its wings open and made a shhh sound. It continued to do this for some time. I even managed to get my video camera and tape it.
I did not know that butterflies made such a noise.
Can someone please tell me what was making the noise, perhaps the scales?
