Butterfly for a Pet!


Ever have a butterfly for a pet?  I have one named "Cutie Pie".  Didn't plan on keeping the butterfly, but when he emerged from his chrysalis he fell to the bottom of the cage and landed on his back.  They are so vulerable when they are still wet.  He couldn't turn over so his wings dryed all crumpled.  He is a survivor!  My daughter and I feed Cutie Pie sugar water everyday and he loves it.  He will sit on my fingers and sip.  While he sips his little crumpled wings go up and down in a very satisfied motion.  He loves to hang on the curtain in the morning sun.  We are wondering how long he will live.  So far it has been a week and he is still going strong.
