of the order Lepidoptera

Fresh from the cocoon

I would like to remember yesterday for being audience to a (very) excited four year-old, sharing a moth that just emerged from the butterfly incubator.

But history and memory won’t shake the sadness and loss that surrounded that day.

    I personally think the moth is beautiful.
    I’m still really depressed about the whole shooting…

    That’s really beautiful. Did you come across it by chance? Or were you being literal when you said it cam from an incubator?

    Technically JP, it’s called a butterfly garden. Took 6 months for this fella to emerge.

    Um, I may have to re-think this whole “Moving to Cincinnati” thing. That thing looks more scary than Katrina… : )
