Mountains, and forest, but wetlands, favored, but what do they know, they're just their pinups. The whole South to Arizona's, bordered ... trees and boulders serve their choice of hole-ups. Cracker Butterflies, wings flapping sounds named, be protecting domains or mating calls. Speckled species ruse camouflaged proclaimed, hangout mid-afternoon, ... plus, if rainfalls. Twenty of their kind, perched heights notes which kind. Birds are the death of them, ... Jacamars, lead, --shared realms. Defense-like poison is defined as pointless, hence, disguised tactics succeed. Diet: fruit rot, dung, and tree sap-sweet gum. Placement perched will measure the life of them.

Thanks, Silent One. 'Tis a challenge to cram as much info of each of these write-ups and as a sonnet format/rhyming form grasping straws there in the process. Again, thanks, my friend, for your continued support. Aloha, William
