Last Thursday, we released our newly minted butterflies into the big wide world!
The moment that we've all be waiting for...
On the down side, two of the four butterflies failed to take flight: the permanently crumpled one rested in the grass along side the butterfly whose wing had a crippling twist. We left these two in the grass to whatever fate awaited them, as they were creatures if the wild. We told the girls that the two butterflies would prefer the sunshine and soft grass over confines of a cage, but that they most likely destined to become Robin food within the hour...
The other two butterflies, once released, flew up immediately out of sight and our hopes for them soared as well.
