Stock Photo - 14 August 2019, Saxony-Anhalt, Wittenberg Lutherstadt: Blue and white butterflies (Morpho peleides) and banana butterflies (Caligio) suck in the Alaris butterfly park in Wittenberg Lutherstadt in a bowl of fermenting bananas and oranges, which are mixed with some wine. The flying alcoholics, who live in the tropical rainforest, Mexico, Central America and the West Indies, prefer to feed on fermented fruits. The alcohol level of 1.4 per mille can then be reduced in 15 minutes. In the approximately 1,000 square metre facility with 140 butterfly species, many celestial and banana butterflies are hatching these days. More than 100 of these colorful butterflies with a wingspan of 65-120 millimeters have already left their pupae and cavort between the tropical plants at 24 degrees and 85 percent humidity.
