Jun. 21st, 2005 10:10 amOkay, a monarch butterfly had built a chrisalis near our door on a brick wall. Somehow, I had a feeling it was a bad idea, but I watched over it anyway. Sometime in the afternoon, I opened the door, and there was a light-gray stub on the wall. With a wet monarch being crushed by dirty water shoes. So I moved them out of the way. Shortly however, I came back and carefully moved the butterfly over a jar of plants so it can get more sun instead of being plastered against the hard floor. Later, the family's all "Oooooh, the butterfly's hatched!", then "Aww, one of its wings is still crumpled!" Then Dad tries to touch it by "giving some surgery to its wing". What the...! Later that night, I go to the jar and see if it was still there, which seemed like not. Cue morning.
The butterfly's still there, kind of clinging faintly to the soil. So I moved it carefully over some flower, hoping it could still pump its wing and get food in the process. There's a couple caterpillars on the milkweed plant, but I'm still worried about the butterfly that has hatched--I want it to survive. It didn't come all this way to hatch into a poor, crippled thing that couldn't take care of itself--it wants to fly. What a letdown then, to be crushed and live a short friggin' life 'cause you got yourself crammed into a stupid brick wall.
