Juniper ~ Papilio Polyxenes

this is Juniper, a black swallowtail butterfly that i raised from an instar. the dog in the background is my puppylove Rowan. i was REALLY excited to see that my butterfly was alive after waiting 5mths for her to emerge from her chrysalis.

Thank you for showing me your butterfly . It is beautiful. I sang two songs for butterfly, but these songs are about love. I remember I was searching the photoes on the web for my video and saw a lot of pretty pictures about butterfly.

Thanks Yuan for stopping by to see my little friend Juniper.

I love butterflies. I think they're really fairies disguised as insects.

Of course, that could just be this week's upcoming full moon...

I totally forgot about the full moon until i saw Mark's latest vid, LOL! Faerys indeed...and setting one free after watching its evolution is truly a magical experience.

Thanks Sara. Its interesting that you mention your mother's passing, because i had an experience closely related to my father's sudden death. We had once raised and released a monarch butterfly together ~ he loved them always. Unfortunately, we had a huge fight just shortly before his passing. The very next summer i found an army of monarch caterpillars in our garden. It had never happened before, nor has it ever happened since. I do believe it was his way of communicating his forgiveness to me.

mutts are the best...i have one myself....i have found unyielding friendship in dogs throughout my life. i'v had some particularly special encounters with butterflies as well...especially since my mother passing...they are fascinating and beautiful...i've seen this kind you have in my garden many times...they really do demand your attention with their beauty. i'm anxious to see more videos from you when the time is right for you to upload more. best wishes....sara

Thank you ojosdelaluna ~ it was indeed. That would be my puppylove Rowan. He is a mutt, so will always and forever remain a mystery! However, best guess = lab + collie + pointer.
