This is a strange one that came out in the mid 70's, I think. A smart caterpillar outwits a stupid bird. Of course, the bird could have flown after the butterfly but a quess birds don't eat butterflys. Bad T.V. reception the day I recorded this.
That's right. They used to think the Viceroy butterfly was a harmless mimic of the Monarch butterfly, but recently scientists found out it IS poisonous, and it is a type of mimicry where two poisonous species mimic each others' warning colors/ But then again I rarely see Viceroy butterflies (I mostly see Monarchs).
I wonder who's voiceover for the caterpillar and butterfly?

If the bird said something, he or she might say "Curses, that butterfly fooled me big time!"

Well, the cataplillar DID say it was a magic TRICK. So I don't think anyone can really blame her for not giving that bird fair warning.

@CanadaFamilyMan You didn't GET it? I'll just refrain from saying anything else. It wouldn't sound very nice.
