Ou are on an expedition in a tropical rainforest. You notice a tall plant with large, long, conical purple flowers that produce nectar. When you ask your guide about the plant, she pulls out a large pink fruit from her bag and explains that it is from the plant with the purple flowers. After tasting the fruit, you decide to bring the plant back home and cultivate it in a greenhouse. You remember seeing a particular butterfly on the purple flowers during your trip to the rainforest. After obtaining a few of these insects, you release them into the greenhouse. A few weeks later, the pink fruit plant is growing! In the process, though, a few butterflies have escaped. Is this an environmentally safe situation? Yes, the butterflies eat only nectar, so the ecosystem will not be disturbed. No, the butterflies may not have a natural predator in this environment; thus, they could displace native species that consume nectar.
