Battus (butterfly)

''Battus'' is a New World genus of butterflies that are usually found around pipevine (genus ''Aristolochia'') plants. The caterpillars feed off the poisonous pipevines, making the insects poisonous themselves; they taste very bad to ward off predators.〔Pinheiro, Carlos E.G. (1996) Palatability and escaping ability in Neotropical butterflies: tests with wild kingbirds (''Tyrannus melancholicus'', Tyrannidae). ''Biol. J. Linn. Soc.'' 59(4): 351–365. (HTML abstract )〕 Since birds avoid these butterflies, other swallowtail species mimic their coloration. The common North American species are ''Battus polydamas'' and ''Battus philenor''.
== Etymology ==
In Greek mythology, Battus is a shepherd who witnessed Hermes stealing Apollo's cattle. Because he broke his promise not to reveal this theft, Hermes turned him to stone.
