Dialogue When Caught

I caught a Queen Alexandra's birdwing! That's a feather in my cap!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  Hoo! The horror! This behemoth butterfly may be called a Queen Alexandra’s birdwing...

  But I call it the Queen of My Nightmares! It is huge! Indeed, the world‘s hugest.

 No butterfly can best its foot-long wingspan. The larvae alone grow to more than 4 inches.

 As if that weren’t appalling enough...they’re poisonous! Murderous monsters, indeed!
