Default I don't do butterly rescue, but . . .

This post made me think of an unknown song I like. A light pop love song, you can hear it on youtube. It was once featured on an old tv show, The Shield. The song is, All My Little Words; I think you'll like it.

If this was early morning, it might actually be too cold. I would leave it alone.

It has been there all day. I just moved it iron a plant, but doubt if it makes it thru the night.

Most butterflies only live for a week or two and by the time they die they hopefully have mated and fostered the next generation. Their wings are usually frayed and they lose their bright colors.

I released fourteen healthy Monarchs this summer. Wonderful experience.

They don't live long, so I'm thinking no one rescues them.

There must be some deep philosophical meaning here that has me pondering.

I have 5 or 6 monarch caterpillars on one of my plants-they are big & healthy...The babies {many of them} are on the same flowering bush...Every couple of days a monarch comes & flies around the bush to check on all of them. She circles the bush & lands on one of the flowers...Then she takes off! It's very exciting to me!
I check constantly!
