Butterfly

Autumn has been nurturing some caterpillars through their transformation into butterflies. It was time to release one of them today. Here it is on her mum’s hand before it flew off into the wide world! It was a windy day to be out in the world. Apparently painted lady butterflies live for 15-29 days but that is from egg to death so not much time in the wide world. Hope it gets to see some sunshine.
