Hummingbird and Butterfly Gardening: I've got a problem, 1 by Equilibrium

A friend of mine got a hold of me and he asked how everything turned out. That's when I realized I hadn't shared with anyone over here what happened.

With surgical precision, I removed BOTH of them from the tank treads of the snowblower. I ever so gently transferred them to the grooves of oak bark that I had collected from a neighbor's firewood pile. I tried two different locations. One went inside a Rubbermaid storage container that I loaded up with bark and assorted leaves that is currently in my garage where it is above freezing pretty much all winter. The other little guy went into the bark of an oak tree outside. He wasn't quite staying in where I originally placed him all that well so I had to try out a few different locations. After I found a spot that was just right, I inserted him and then sort of covered him up with a water proof bandaid and duct tape over that just in case I didn't have him wedged in there properly. The bottom of my tape-in job is open for air circulation and so he can get out next spring.

Last week we found yet another one of these little guys cruising around in the greenhouse. Into the Rubbermaid food storage container his happy rear went. I sort of tried to find him in there when I was taking the photo of the first little guy removed from the snow blower treads and didn't see him. Figured it was simply best to leave things be. He's in there. I just don't know where.

Here's the first little guy inserted into bark who was rescued from the tank treads.
