We had a butterfly hatch (is that the right term?) in our yard yesterday.
We watched it dry its wings and hang around a while.
We also got to watch it take off for it's first flight.
It's very pretty, does anyone know what kind of butterfly it is?
ETA- It's a swallowtail! Thanks!

That's so cool! I've never seen one hatch before, despite hanging around the butterfly exhibit and staring at the pupae for a solid hour!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a swallowtail.
Thanks! We did see some more in Idaho this weekend. It's great to know more!
