Much to my surprise, one of the butterflies that's been hanging out in my front bedroom eclosed overnight. Will it be safe to release it in this cold weather or will it die? (Doesn't he know it's too cold for him to be out and about?!?) We have some fruit in his container for him, but I know he needs nectar or he'll starve.
You can see a pic of him over in the butterfly forum.

Thanks, Josephine. I was at work and DH actually posted the question on the butterfly forum. I've not even been over there to see it. LOL
