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. Since birds avoid these butterflies, other swallowtail species mimic their coloration. The common North American species are Battus polydamas and Battus philenor.

Melanie
by: PuhdysSie war wie alle andren war'n
Voll Lebensdurst, doch unerfahr'n.
In ihren Augen brannte heiss die Glut, die Glut, die Glut.
Wo was los war, war auch sie.
Man nannte sie nur Melanie.
Sie ging die Wege zwischen schlecht
Und gut und gut und gut und gut und gut.
Zu Hause war sie fortgerannt,
Weil man nicht gleiche Worte fand.
Und Liebe spuerte sie nie - Melanie ! Melanie !
Ihr Vater hatte niemals Zeit und
Wenn er da war, gab es Streit.
So ein Leben wollte sie nie mehr,
nie mehr, nie mehr, nie mehr.
Zu Hause war sie fortgerannt,
Weil man nicht gleiche Worte fand.
Und Liebe spuerte sie nie - Melanie ! Melanie !
Mal blieb sie von der Arbeit weg und
Suchte Halt in manchem Bett.
Doch was sie fand erlosch bei Tageslicht.
Ein Kind - sie wusste nicht von wem.
Sie wollte es trotz alledem.
Die Traenen, die sie weinte, sah man nicht.
Traenen sah man bei ihr nie.
Man misst das Leben nicht nach Jahren.
Doch sie, als ich sie wiedersah.
Das Kind an ihrer Seite lachte und
