My dad just got back from the Virginia Woodturning Symposium. He was telling me how he saw this sulphur and was chasing it through a field but couldn't get a picture of it. I don't know if the butterfly was laughing, but my dad's friend sure was!
It is very unnerving when people watch me at the museum trying to net butterflies. I always tell them not to look; I get so nervous! Plus, I've already fallen into one bush trying to catch a Tiger ST this year and that was embarrassing enough. At least on vacation in WV there's fewer people to see me out in the woods making a fool of myself. On the plus side, mountain people are pretty cool about individuality as long as it's not hurting anyone else. Also, I think they like to see a younger person that's actually interested in nature and not staring at a smartphone constantly. Not that you can get a cell phone connection up at Grandma's house anyway!
