Football & Butterfly Porn

Don't worry, I'll warn you when we get to the porn part. 

Got back to Denver last Saturday and my ride to Amy & Derek's was going to a REAL football game so I got to go along. 

Rapids forever, unless the other teams jersey color is cooler. 

Molly got a cool scarf. 

L to R in our group: Molly, Braedan, Corrine and taking care of the French fries, Spencer. 

It was a pretty good game with the Rapids prevailing in the end. They scored each time one of the dads went up to the concession stands or bathroom. 

Today it was off to the butterfly garden to witness the release of a new shipment of butterflies. 

A Pipevine Swallowtail, Battus philenor

Buckeye, Junonia coenia

They liked to land on warm bodies. 

Especially Hazel's

She was ok with it. Even with all the parents and grand parents swooping in with cameras. 

The super nice lady explaining everything as she released the newcomers. 

The boxes behind her were what they came in, overnight FedX. They were in the envelopes in her hand and ready to move out. 

There were many different kinds

A female Spicebush Swallowtail, Papilio troilus

A ? (Not in the hand out) on Molly's knee. 

Zebra Longwing, Heliconius charitonius

Lots of these

Monarch, Danaus plexippus

? Again but shows some of the pretty flowers. 

ALERT.......................................... NOW COMES THE PORN

Not this. This is just a spacer to protect the children. 

Monarchs mating

This is what you were expecting, right? 

Finally, the only chrysalis we found, a Monarch. 

Cooling off..................nice.
