Ok everyone hold tight for the thread you didn't not ask for https://twitter.com/LeedsMuseums/status/1250358222126530560
This is both a 🦋 butt 🦋 and a 🍑 butt 🍑, a very good place to start.

It's a Swallowtail butterfly! Now, some Swallowtails have eyes in their butts.

Eyes! in! their! butts!
(they're actually 'genital photoreceptors' but we'll call them eyes)

These butts mate back to back, so the 'simple' light sensing eyes help them to 'see' what they're doing and make sure they're mating correctly. Butt to butt.
Onward!

Fact: butter is great. In the immortal words of Honey Boo Boo, 'mo butter, 'mo better.

Turns out Mr JG Prince of Rawdon knew this back in 1897, when he bought a cask full of t'lovely stuff from J Griggs in Rawdon.
back to 🍑butts 🍑

Porcupines!

In defence, they raise and fan their quills to make themselves look bigger. If that doesn't work, they whirr the quills, and charge BACK END FIRST trying to stab the enemy with their butt quills.
