Real PW Butterflies Thread

[TiberiusZgo]

So OFC not all of the butterflies/moths are real. But there are some that actually look like the PW butterflies.

Im curious to see if you guys can find a butterfly/moth specie that looks like a pw butterfly/moth.

I’ll start:

PW: Empress Butterfly

IRL: Empress Leillia

(Monarch Butterfly can be but not really because of it’s design)

The Small Brimstone is probably based on the Common Yellow Grass Butterfly.

Bit unsure on this one, but maybe?

The real butterfly obviously cant be as vibrant.

[TiberiusZgo]

Yeah kinda of if there isn’t any other type. Btw whats the name

[PirahSet]

[TiberiusZgo]

Yeah, if you only knew the PW butterfly, you won’t think it’s real
