Gracie: So far this summer, I've read three books... Gracie: Written five poems... Gracie: And now I'm starting my novel! Tia Carmen: That's wonderful, Gracie... Tia Carmen: But let me show you another way to brighten you mind!
This really hit home for us. This past week we pulled some caterpillers off the cabbages and put them in a critter keeper (outside in the shade) with several leaves and watch them turn in to pupas, they came out as small whie cabbage butterflies Wend and this morning, and we set them free. My children start dancing happily every time they see a white buterfly now.
I’m doing my part. NO pesticide use in over 15 years and 1/4 my property is wild. Lots of butterflies. Even lightning bugs. This year photographed a Sphinx moth feeding. Also have plenty of dragonflies ,ladybug beetles ,and ant lions. I DON’T have Fire ants. Amazing what Nature can do if just left alone!

I have’t seen many butterflies either. I wonder if they’re dying out – that would be horrible.

It’s moths generally moths rather than butterflies that fly around lights, and trust me, most species of moths won’t be going extinct anytime soon.
