Cannot go wrong with that in the final panel.

More kids need an Aunt like her.

With all those butterfies … they must be in Pacific Grove, CA.

Everyone needs a Tia Carmen!

I saw a luna moth yesterday!

Tia Carmen rockin’!

I have’t seen many butterflies either. I wonder if they’re dying out – that would be horrible.

great job aunt tia

Butterfly catching of course.

This really hit home for us. This past week we pulled some caterpillers off the cabbages and put them in a critter keeper (outside in the shade) with several leaves and watch them turn in to pupas, they came out as small whie cabbage butterflies Wend and this morning, and we set them free. My children start dancing happily every time they see a white buterfly now.

I’m doing my part. NO pesticide use in over 15 years and 1/4 my property is wild. Lots of butterflies. Even lightning bugs. This year photographed a Sphinx moth feeding. Also have plenty of dragonflies ,ladybug beetles ,and ant lions. I DON’T have Fire ants. Amazing what Nature can do if just left alone!

It’s moths generally moths rather than butterflies that fly around lights, and trust me, most species of moths won’t be going extinct anytime soon.
