Nice pictures but I totally agree about the kid. We have signs at MOSI asking people not to pick the flowers. Even in the flight cage I have to tell kids not to pick them. They think if they stand there with literally one little penta bloom in their hand the butterfly will land on it. I explain that's not how it works, but some of the kids are dumb. Some of the adults are even dumber. Luckily, that's like 5-10% of our guests.
Just released my one and only Eastern Black ST. Still don't know how it found its Mommy found the rue under all those weeds!
It was ready to fly and went right on out. Now, I need to go out and check the pipevine once again before I go to MOSI. My neighbors are having a yard sale so I guess I'll try not to do anything too strange, but no promises!
