Mandevilla Blooms can "Trap" Butterflies

- Recently a butterfly was inside a mandevilla flower for days. Eventually the blossom fell off, as they all do. The butterfly had checked out. I Googled and found it happens. They say, even at least one hummingbird has got stuck.
- Today another butterfly stayed in a bloom, but was alive. So I decided to tear the petals away and free it. It fluttered and soon flapped itself free. Apparently, actually adhered to the flower. It flew away very quickly.
