found this wee one on the lawn, thought it was a little green bud at first but then it moved.
sadly its wings were mangled so flying was not an option anymore. it could have been a bird who did it but i suspect it was one of the furries.
it spent a long time sitting on my arm while i was trying to figure out how i could help. i ended up putting it in the freesias i have on the office window sill.
the butterfly with broken wings seemed content with the flowers' nectar. and that's where it spent its last hours of life. a short, unfortunate life, but perhaps from a butterfly's point of view it was a well lived day. i hope so.

Such ephemeral beauty. And yes, I too hope its life was good.
