I didn't have a good butterfly day. On the way home from the shelter, a butterfly flew right into the grill of my car and I felt awful. I figured that was the end of the poor thing, but when I got home, he was still on my grill, broken but still alive. I felt so bad. I took a couple of quick photos of him and then wrapped him in some tissue to put him in the freezer for hopefully a peaceful end.
Maybe this will end my confusion, is it a Spicebush or a Pipevine? Whichever, he was a beauty.
And then a GF started to eclose in the crate, I went off to do other things, and came back to see he'd never gotten very far, he just dried up hanging out of the chrysallis, never having opened his wings.
I hate days like this.......
