Butterflies 101
There are whites and browns
azures and sulphurs.
swallowtails longtails
cloudywings duskywings
commas and question marks
alpine blues and tanana arctics
pearly-eyes buckeyes
tortoiseshells checkerspots
Californian sisters painted ladies
queens and monarchs, admirals and satyrs
fritillaries elfins hairstreaks
blue moons and mourning cloaks
a whole fleet of skippers–
grizzled, fiery and dingy
Next time, we’ll cover the moths . . .
