  1. True! Anything rich in mineral and also salty things, including human sweat. Here's a nasty tip: mix rotten fish with human urine to create a true boost. Posted 7 years ago
    1. ack.... but then you won't want to stay anywhere near the area long enough to see the butterflies..... Posted 7 years ago
      1. Well, you're hardcore or you're not.

        Just kidding! It's just a tip passed on from our Colombian guide. We tried it without the urine but vultures took the fish lol.

Lorquin's admiral is a butterfly in the Nymphalinae subfamily. The butterfly is named after Pierre Joseph Michel Lorquin, a French naturalist who came to California from France during the Gold Rush, and made important discoveries on the natural history of the terrain.
