Because of this and other factors many believe the Heliconius to be more intelligent than other butterflies. The heliconius butterfly also spends less time developing or existing in immature stages, bulking up and "storing resources for eggs" (Millius, 1). These butterflies almost seem social in nature, spending much of their day engaging in reproduction and "sipping nectar" a lifestyle some have described as "trivial" (Millius, 1). These are the only butterflies known to eat pollen and forage along the same route day...
