Mom got to watch this one and she even managed to safely transfer it from the critter keeper into the butterfly house. We're keeping him in the bf house overnight because it has rained all day and cooled off. The only potted flower I have right now is Mom's cattleya orchid, so I put that in there. I also picked some blanket flower blooms for good measure and tucked them in with the orchid. I picked up the butterfly (using the same technique that guy on Animal Planet used when he was chasing the birdwing butterfly) and try to set him on it but he wasn't interested yet. At least he has a safe place to stay for the night! edited for my typos This message was edited Oct 24, 2007 6:27 PM |
