No one wants to say it but if lepidoptera were fantasy races heliconians would be the bad guys. Long living, intelligent, poisonous, pupil-mating creeps…
Ok no offense but what if the Thysbe Hemaris, third child and only daughter of the newly established House of Clearwing, was sent away to the great Nymphalidae Court to find a butterfly husband to raise her family’s status (her family are day-flying Clearwing moths obv. Day-flying moths are just beginning to be accepted as members of butterfly aristocracy). And so she’s being hosted by a sunset moth who lives at court and her personal maid is a fluffy white silkworm moth. And anyways Thysbe is just trying really hard to make her family proud but she’s unfamiliar with the ways of butterfly court and she keeps ending up in risqué situations with her various suitors, including a sinister older Heliconian. And Thysbe can’t help but feel drawn to the mysterious Princess Morpho…. After all, who could possibly be a better match than the Queen’s eldest? But when an assassination attempt is made on the Queen, Thysbe realizes she has more to worry about than who’s going to be her date to the ball!
