Saturday, spouse and I visited a combination gift/grocery store that has been open seasonally for many years in Maine, New York. In the spring, they have a temporary greenhouse with plastic sides they sell plants from.
Another nearby one was fluttering wildly against the plastic. I felt for it. I didn't want to hurt it so I put my finger near it, hoping it would see it as a safe haven. Then I would have walked with it outside.
It didn't get on my finger but it did settle on a beam and it let me take its picture.
I had to go. I hope they found their way out.
These are American Red Admiral butterflies, incidentally, and you can find out more about them here. Some years they are common, and I'm suspecting this will be one of those years.

I have your blog on my blogroll and i follow your blog especially your A to Z posts, but I guess I didn't know you did Wordless Wednesdays as well. You can see my entry by clicking on my name above. I love butterflies.
ReplyDeletePretty. Sad they trapped, hopefully just a temporary thing.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful butterfly! I thought that after visiting the valley of butterflies on the Rhodos island, no butterfly would ever impress me. But here it is, and I love it.
ReplyDeleteWow! gorgeous butterfly and great photo ~ hugs,

I'm sure they enjoyed the plants in the greenhouse. I hope they did make it out, though.
ReplyDeleteHow delightful to see such beautiful butterflies. I would have wanted to rescue them as well.
ReplyDeleteThey are quite pretty. We don't know much about what kinds of butterflies we see, but we do love to see them.
ReplyDeleteRed admirals are welcome visitors each year. I look forward to seeing them in the garden.
