Have you even eaten deep fried butterfly? Very nice!
I didnt know butterflys were endangered. So much for my butterfly collection. J/K.
Kris, I hope you are kidding!
Jim, butterflies help pollinate those beautiful Texas wildflowers. I wouldn't collect any more! :)
Not sure where the butterfly capital of Colorado is........ :)
I love butterfies. They are so fragile and delicate!
As far as I know, the ladybug is the symbol of Massachusetts.
Flying flowers. So pretty!
Butterflies are so pretty! Your new profile photo fits well. :)
I've not heard of a butterfly day. I do know they are getting rarer. Lets hope this day helps.
Love butterflys! I've not heard of a butterfly day, too.
I am exaggerating about the deep fried butterfly. The ones that we ate were lightly pan fried in a small amount of butter. They were okay, but the grubs we had that evening were far tastier!
It was a 'bush tucker' demonstration in Cairns. We ate all sorts of things, although my favourite by some margin was crocodile, very tasty and very tender.
Love the texture of these bushes!
I feel like I can feel them.
