Do Butterflies sleep?




Taken with my phone: Moto G Power (2022)

This morning in the cool, crisp air, I walked to the mailbox. On my way back home, I saw the glimpse of an object on the ground. Stopping to look closer, I thought it was a dead butterfly. I took out my phone to get a picture of it being it seemed whole and not damaged. Then I decided to go to the house for my camera. I thought it be nigh to impossible that I would find it again. I counted my steps to the shrub at the corner, got the camera, went to the shrub and counted my way back and lo, and behold, it was still there, and I saw it! So, I took a couple pics with my camera. And it was not dead. I saw it change positions, then I saw an antenna move. So, my next question was, do butterflies sleep? So, I did a search and came up with this page.

Note: It can take much better pictures. It depends on the photographer. :)
