The secret ingredients were cheese and vegemite, but the butterfly failed to eat all the sandwich, had to finish it myself :-)) Have a video of it, not sure how to load that to CNM.

Awesome shots! Tailed Emperors are known to be attracted to fermenting, stinky food like rotting fruit but I didn't know they liked Vegemite.
