I'm going to email your article to my granddaughter, who is 9, and who loves butterflies. She will learn a great deal from it, just as I have. Great information, great writing. I shall return. I'm glad you enjoyed this article, Renie.
Children are always fascinated with butterlies, it seems.
That was unusual, as we usually see a few. One practiclly sat on my friend's nose the other day while we were having lunch on the patio. We had a few fritillaries, some black swallowtails, and tiger swallowtails too. I never saw a chrysalis, but anyway, i guess i startled him and he flew with a bit of inexperience around my yard. Within the hour, it was gone, never to be seen again.
