Mud-puddling:-
The butterfly is a mud-puddler. Mud-puddling is a behaviour exhibited by butterflies and a few other insects, where they sit on moist soil and dung, and suck up the fluid to extract certain salts and nutrients that play an important role in their life-processes. Seen basking with its wings held wide open on plants, it’s usually a low flier.
