Butterfly pt. 2
Almost a month to the day, I saw the butterfly again. First thing I thought: The person who named butterflies must have been dyslexic, and had meant to call it a flutterby.
Second thing was the shape of the wings - something I hadn’t thought about too much. This particular butterfly, when idle from a profile view, has wings that are a bit like a right triangle, only a bit acute. Maybe like 80 degrees instead of 90. On the side opposite the right angle, the side is softer as in not a straight line. It’s almost like torn paper. The side parallel to the ground is shorter than the other two, also.
Is this significant? Not yet; but it is interesting. I'm glad the flutterby made another visit.
