Antarean butterfly

This butterfly was a species native to the Antares system. A red butterfly, it could deliver a deadly nerve toxin through its stinger. Although the species had been extinct in its native habitat for over fifty years, C-3PO spotted one in the Garden of Butterflies in New Escrow. Due to his identification, Princess Leia Organa determined the creature was actually Darth Vader's secretary, a shapeshifter attempting to assassinate Viscount Tardi. At her command, R2-D2 downed the faux insect with flame retardant, and she promptly crushed it underfoot.
