our butterfly...

is doing well. we have added a few things in the terrarium to
make him (as i was informed by abbey) more comfortable.

some paper butterfly friends so he wouldn't be lonely.
crocuses about to bloom. nectar we made with
a sponge placed in it so he won't get stuck.
cut alstroemerias for fresh nectar.

dirt, some sticks for perching, and of course fresh water.
i have been reading up on butterflies.
most don't overwinter and most only live 4 ~ 6 weeks.
we feel most fortunate to have this guy in our company.
happy winter days in january.
