About ten days ago I visited the butterfly house at the Sarett Nature Center, a bit outside Benton Harbor Michigan. When I first looked at my pictures, I was disappointed as they of course aren't as good as the real thing. But now, with the visit in the past, I'm rather moved by the pictures. They capture only a moment, but each moment seems so beautiful.
Their lifespan is odd: The butterfly lives first in an egg, then as a caterpillar, then a pupa, and finally, as a butterfly. The butterfly's main job is to mate and reproduce. It's lifespan is only a few
weeks. Somehow these facts don't mesh with the butterfly's beauty. It looks so perfect. The caterpillar and pupa, not so much.
