Butterflies, Nectar, Pollination!



Here was a very interesting opportunity. Friday, August 22nd, right before my friend and her family from NY came to visit, I spotted this cute little butterfly which loved our purple flowers on our backporch!

My favorite picture is the second one where Chantel is just looking in her unique way at the very beautiful butterfly, a special part of God's creation, around our house.

It was a fun thing to discuss and see as I was in the middle of cleaning for our guests.

We discussed the butterfly was pollinating the flowers (helping them bloom and grow), the butterfly's proboscis (tongue like straw for sipping), nectar- what the butterfly likes to drink! Lots of new vocabulary!!!
