Prompt: “Butterflies are self propelled flowers.”
Robert A. Heinlein

Butterflys are special. They come in so many different sizes and colors. They are a joint legged invertebrate. Because of their six legs they are also an insect. If you really want to find different varieties of butterflies in the North Eastern USA, go out early in the morning. LIke the birds they are flying and taking care of business in the moist air of late dawn to early noon.

Crocheted butterflies make good book markers. If you crochet you know there are a lot of patterns in circulation for Butterflys.

The national Audubon Society has a field guide for butterflies. It contains 1,014 images of Butterflys, caterpillars, and chrysalises.

On walks my dogs will chase a butterfly or moth if it flutters by. The fluttering flying movement they exhibit excites other animals.

When the snow came back the insects stopped buzzing outside. I wonder what affect the eclipse will have on the weather and on the insects and birds. Guess I better look it up. Have a good day.
