Chris' mom brought us a caterpillar in the fall. This week we came home to a butterfly fluttering in a jar! Chris did some internet research and said it could still migrate if we set it free. We gave it some sugar water to build its strength and set it free. After a long, cold, rainy night, it had not moved. We brought it back into the house and set up a home for it in the laundry room. The cats had other plans. They pushed open the laundry room door and ate 1/2 its wings. It was still alive, but died two days later. We're all a little sad.
