Now it's been pointed out, it's blindingly obviously wrong to me, for one reason: the "live butterfly" looks more aerodynamic. Entertainingly, this is no less wrong: the one time a live butterfly is likely to have forward-stretched wings is in flight.
- pimlottc 9y ago> Entertainingly, this is no less wrong: the one time a live butterfly is likely to have forward-stretched wings is in flight. I'm sorry, do you have evidence for this assertion? The author specifically addresses this, saying the position is atypical even during flight. It just seems rude to me to dismiss the author's argument so flippantly with what seems to be an unfounded supposition.
- regularfry 9y agoUgh. Off the high horse, please. I'm not disagreeing with the author. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7a7ZAqWBIs&t=79 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7a7ZAqWBIs&t=79 shows a butterfly manoeuvring in flight such that it stretches its wings forward. My statement was simply that if a butterfly is ever going to have its wings forward, it will be while it is in flight. Stop looking for drama where there isn't any.
