Its been a while since I’ve made a post.  Been really busy.  I’ve taken pictures all summer but haven’t had time to post any.  Flipping through the images on my camera, I remember capturing this image but it wasn’t until I saw it enlarged on the monitor that I really thought much about it.  I’ve always thought of butterflies as magical creatures that flutter about just being beautiful. Here one day and gone the next. I never imagined them as being emotional or thoughtful creatures. Today my thoughts of butterflies became much deeper. In this image I see a butterfly mourning the death of another butterfly. This made me wonder, do butterflies really mourn the death of other butterflies or did I just happen to capture this image coincidentally?  Do they have butterfly funerals? Maybe you know the answer to this, maybe there has been research done on this very topic, or maybe not.  Either way, this image made me wonder.
