The Great Escape

No pics in this post but I have an interesting update from the butterfly front.

I left a small crack open in the netting as I was putting some new flowers in the habatat yesterday. Apparently one of the inmates was ready to make a break for it, and quickly fluttered out into the living room within seconds seeing the opportuity. We raised all the sirens and alarms, spotlights, you name it. Kids were running around yelling, chasing -- chaos rained supreme.

We finally gave up trying to catch the little guy and gave him some space as he was visably agitated and fluttering madly the closer we came.

Later that day, I was working outside fixing the side gate and Katie came out with the butterfly on her finger. "Look daddy!" she said with a big smile on her face. No sooner had she uttered those words than the butterfly took off and made for the sky. Katie was suprised but not sad as she watched her new pet escape.

We plan on releasing the rest of them tonight (they have all hatched now). WIll give you a final post soon.
