here are pics of a butterfly that just hatched - I was sweeping and almost swept it up (before it started to fluff out the wings). You can see the wings arent fully open on the edges. I put it on a bush and about 10 min later it flew to the top of a tree. I never saw one like this and when I looked up the pics I took I found it was called a silk butterfly. Very pretty, and I have to watch for the caterpillers, cus I think I picked one off my tomatoes (it looks something like a horn worm w/o the horn). sharet
(I think it looks like a cat's face to scare away birds from eating it)
