Lovely Day for a Butterfly

Mourning Cloak Butterfly (Nymphalis antiopa)
sunning itself on my deck railing


Matt reported to me that Lilith chased a butterfly this morning. I guess being outside in nice spring weather brought out her inner hunter. The butterfly escaped unharmed, and I found it later, sipping nectar from my Andromeda (Pieris sp.)
