monarch flutter
about 3 or 4 years ago, i bought a potted chrysanthemum at the flower store in chelsea market. it was nice and all, and then of course, it died. rather than toss it in the trash, i planted it in my backyard for the winter. now, it's a hugh bush!
today, this raggidy monarch was feasting on it.... it's my favorite butterfly! i remember being a kid, visiting my grandmother in the mountains. she made me a butterfly net, and i would run in the fields, catching them.
once caught, i'd bring the butterfly inside, and my grandmother would soak a cotton ball in eather, put the butterfly and the ball in a lidded jar, and it would die.
she'd take it out and use stick pins and put it on a piece of driftwood.
i was all happy, until one time the butterfly didn't fully succumb to the drug, and it came back to life and frantically started fluttering against the pins!!!!
i still caught butterflies, but after that, i let them go....
