BUTTERFLIES KILL AND DEVOUR  SMALL DEER

This photo taken in the gamelands behind BCW shows the remains of a fawn after it was attacked and devoured by a horde of butterflies.  OK, three may not constitute a horde, but your reporter feared for his life as they swarmed around him off camera.

Warning!  This photo is graphic in nature and may not be suitable for younger persons or persons who think that butterflies are cute, harmless creatures.
