Of all the types who flutter by:
Nymphilidae, Hesperidae,
Lycaeridae, there’s more, I say…
Monarch, peacock, swallowtail,
Painted Lady, Painted Male …
Their colors rival rainbow hues
With reds, greens, oranges, and blues.
And yet these Lepidoptera
(in colors quite show stop-tera)
Are color-blind. They only see
Red, yellow, green. (Those colors three.)
Which means our insect stud won’t notice
Femmes all tarted like a lotus.
He’d never know if future mate
Had changed wing-color for their date
Or if some Lepidoptera
Wore colors quite show stop-tera.
But when approaching traffic lights
On sunny morns or murky nights
A butterfly would always know
To slow, to stop, and then to go.
Bracelet and earrings right here.
Now about that chance to win these...
...all you have to do is leave a comment. Then, on April 29th, 2011, at 5 PM PDT, Gilda (who is a big fan of butterflies)...

These beauties are just wonderful and I love the colors. What a way to welcome spring. My order is in and I can't wait to see them. Thank you. Thank you! Hanna

Your butterflies are all stunning -and as colorful as the ones that cover my back! I'm anxiously awaiting this year's first Monarch sighting :)

So after vising your Ebay page I had to comment on your Luna story in the gorgeous butterfly charm bracelet auction. Last summer I was at a graduation party where a guy was going to kill a Luna that had been hanging out on his mother's screen door for over 2 days. I gently slid my finger underneath it and placed it on my shoulder. It remained there for the walk back to my car, the 2 mile ride home and then grace my screen door with it's presence for a couple more days before venturing off :) My family was in awe!
ReplyDelete~Marni (again!)
Kill a Luna?!?! Noooooooo! So glad you rescued it.
