Elusive Butterfly.

This is our pet butterfly Elusive. She is a small tortoiseshell. We called her Elusive as we couldn't see her all winter. We think she was hibernating in our store, aka junk room. She appeared one morning at a window but we can't let her out as it is far too cold. She is waiting for the spring (aren't we all!). We feed her a mixture of sugar and water. Usually, her wings are closed but I managed to get a shot when she was "stretching."
P.S. It is a lovely song by Bob Lind
