Field Notes

Description:

Butterfly in a resting position that I have never seen before. Resting on my Cleredendron. I thought it might be dying, but it flew away finally. This is the one I had so much trouble in getting a picture before. Of course it is not so pretty folded up.

Habitat:

Right now, Alice's Butterfly garden.
