Black Swifttail Butterfly - CORRECTION


Patience is the key to all things great and small.  With some dill, a safe place and a little misting the butterfly emerged from the cocoon and was born a beautiful sight.  See for yourself

Our first caterpillar turned into - oh what a beautiful sight

Tough to get a clear shot of a flapping drying your wings off butterfly

Such colour!

Words cannot express




We released our first butterfly about 5:00 p.m. est yesterday. 


Now we are thrilled to have Milly our recent addition - she just shed yesterday entering her 3rd instar, now she will eat until plump and then cocoon.  I am so excited!

Nature is so stunningly beautiful!  The amazing things that happen as a result of a small little caterpillar.  This kind of beautry underscores just how important life is and why we must continue to urge our neighbours to take care and look after our Earth.  Such beauty makes life so much more significant and worthwhile to see sights such as this beauty in my yard.
