can you imagine being attacked
by a butterfly
neither can I
flitting
floating
flying
free
as innocent
as life can be
and so
in marvelous
tranquility
beauty spreads its wings
in front of me.

I’ve had them land on me, but so far no injuries to either party.
I like that mental picture.
The only offence any butterflies have done to me is to interrupt my concentration on an outdoors task. But I decided not to complain.
Do the Monarch butterflies migrate through your neighborhood on the way from Mexico to Canada and back?
There used to be swarms of them pass through in the past. Unfortunately, I’ve only seen a few individual outliers the past few years. There are milkweed plants near my backyard that the caterpillars need, hopefully more of the monarchs will discover them soon.
I also have milkweed in my garden and hope to greet Monarchs in thee Spring.
