Butterflies Soak Up the Nectar

I love butterflies. I had a butterfly net as a child and spent days idly chasing after Tiger swallowtails, Black swallowtails, Viceroys, Clouded sulphur, and so many other species.

I took their abundance for granted. I’d capture them and put them quietly to sleep until they died. Then I mounted them in displays and studied them.
