Flowers I understand. They use color to attract insects and birds, and nectar to bribe them, so the flying organisms will carry pollen to other flowers.

But why butterflies? I'd think a drab butterfly would avoid predators better than a butterfly with beautiful colors.

Are the butterflies hell bent on attracting each other so they can copulate?
