Kentucky Color: Hills are alive with Red-Spotted Purple Butterflies They have few predators, and flourish, because their color mimicks that of the poisonous Pipestem Swallowtail Next earlier Kentucky Color: Kentucky Color: Inquiring minds. By Billy Joe Fudge Retired Kentucky State District Forester The hills are alive with Red-spotted Purple Butterflies at 992 Sparksville Road (Harvey's Ridge). They are on the highway, in the gravel driveway, in the air, and in this instance on the woodbox on the front porch. I understand that the female is slightly larger than the male and if that is true then that explains what might have precipitated this gathering of both large and slightly smaller Red-spotted Purples. They also seemed to be somewhat oblivious to the rest of the world around them which is another indicator of amorous behavior. This particular butterfly has very few predators because its color scheme is so much like the Pipevine Swallowtail which is poisonous. This story was posted on 2010-08-19 17:26:06
