Doc received a butterfly garden as a gift in which you receive caterpillars and watch them grow into butterflies. Of course myself being a child at heart thought this would be an awesome experience to watch metamorphosis of a butterfly. They don't care to tell you that one caterpillar would explode while trying to create a cocoon, one would die while in its cocoon, and the butterfly's stink and make allot of meconium which looks like blood which is extremely fascinating to a 4 year old boy. Yes, butterflies are beautiful and one of Gods amazing creations and I totally loved the time spent raising them. So the day came to release the butterflies, I thought taking them to a hummingbird garden would be nice, its at the park, there are flowers, and its overall just lovely. We had Doc set them free, all but one which had yet to emerge from the cocoon which instead went for a swim. Doc decided to throw the mesh butterfly home into the water to see if it would float! Awesome ideas of a 4 year old! Luckily the cocoon was safe and we brought it home to wait several days for it to emerge and be ready to set free. Our cat black insure its safety by carefully guarding it 24/7 and tried his hardest to befriend the butterfly while it stayed set up high from reach all alone. We had a few rainy days so I waited for a nice sunny day to let it free. Doc scooped the butterfly into his hand, walked it outside of the porch area, and watched it fly away. This butterfly took off straight into the air and went straight till we couldn't see it anymore. Doc said it was Super Butterfly while Im thinking to myself how high can a butterfly actually go up before it dies. Out of all the places for this butterfly to go he goes straight up! I guess I dont really care, good bye Super Butterfly and Im happy that adventure is over with.
