Our original plan this weekend was to go to a Butterfly Festival at a semi-local nature center. But then I found out they were charging $6 a person to get in, which is crazy. The weather was grey and rainy, so we decided against going. I guess someone felt bad for me, though, because when I got home today there was a butterfly feeding on my potted plants. I followed him around for awhile. He was quite the hungry one. He’d fly away for a bit, then come back and go at it. Anyone know what kind of butterfly he is?

I don’t know what kind of butterfly it is… but if I had to name it… I would name it “Crazy Butterfly”
