    Number 3: OMG SQUEE!!!
    Number 5: of course.

    Here in the STL, we have an extraordinary place called the Butterfly House: thousands upon thousands of butterflies in a beautiful structure that is kept at sub-tropical climate year round. Also, for some reason that both eludes and charms me, the B-House is home to oodles of tiny fat quail. They skitter around, and sometimes the butterflies land on them, but it ain't no thang. When you leave, there are floor-to-ceiling mirrors, so you can check to make sure you're not taking a Monarch home in your hair.

    I DESPISE BUTTERFLIES. They give me the serious wig. They're the squirrels of the insect world - like, squirrels are just 'pretty' rodents, butterflies are 'pretty' BUGS. I do not like their deceptive practices. I like my rodents and bugs ugly and yucky.

    @lolowyo...wants a zombie baby: Say what you will about bugs, madam, but DO NOT DARE disparage the noble squirrel. I LOVE squirrels. They are, to me, little tree-dwelling kittens. So I advise you to mind your tongue on that subject, or me and Squirrelcop will be obligated to dole out a whuppin'. Or at least a citation, bearing our official crest. (see my avatar.) Thank you for your cooperation:)

    Every autumn in my city there's a butterfly show at a university greenhouse. It is so fucking awesome. Totally breathtaking.


    Really it's a shame that her eyes are closed in this picture... every person I've seen who's had a butterfly land on them is lit up like the sun, beaming as if they've been spontaneously blessed by the highest divine authority. Like I said, awesome.

    I really like that girl's haircut. A lot. And it's wrong of me, I know, but I'd like one of those butterflies to wear in my hair. It's wrong because obviously the butterfly would have to be dead or it just wouldn't work.

    I like the one they have at The Bronx Zoo. Haven't been there in a couple of years, but my daughter thought it was the neatest thing in the world when she was 2.

    'Sup Grandma!


    In all seriousness, my grandmother was a fanatic about butterflies. At her funeral, this butterfly followed my mother around incessantly. We imagined it was her. Later, while studying Nabokov, who was a lepidopterist,in college I learned that her name, Thecla, is a kind of butterfly. I've had a soft spot for them ever since. Every time I see one, I think of her.

    @Schez: Oh, she'd love to hear someone say that! It was her middle name actually but since she was named after her mom, she went by it. She was always iffy about it.


    @ItchykooParker: Aww. My feelings on religion are spotty, but the one thing I know I believe in is my grandmother's presence in my life. If I ever feel like I need something, I always know she's there.

    @EkaterinaBallerina: That's a beautiful story.


    Sometimes people have the most appropriate names. My mum who is awesome with plants is called Laura and her last name translates as Rosemary.


    Another story I like involving animals and funeral is when Emily Bronte died, her dog was heading her funeral procession.

    Ok, no. Butterfly Houses are freaking TERRIFYING. A million flappy, jittery flying creatures getting all up in your hair and under your clothes. Just no.


    Also, every time I've been to one, I end up killing a few, moths especially, trying frantically to get them out of my hair. Those places are bad news!

    @Pocahaunted (formerly CocoBambi): I feel the same way. My parents took me to a butterfly house once and one landed on me and it took all of my strength not to swat it. If I were the girl in the picture, I'd probably be screaming. But a sort of muffled, constrained screaming, so it wouldn't fly in my mouth. Just because it has pretty wings doesn't mean it's not a GIANT FUCKING BUG ON MY FACE.

    Imagine if that were any other insect. A palmetto bug, for instance, or a flying ant. Or even a giant moth.


    The scene would be quite different.

    @saintbernadette: To be fair, I get freaked out when butterflies try to land on me. Sure, they're pretty from afar, but up close, they are still insects! I realized this at about the age of 12 and haven't been the same since regarding beautifully-winged bugs.

    @saintbernadette: Well, thanks for ruining it! Great job! Horrible, awful images sprang to mind immediately and made me cower, a little. Like an elephant moth from Silence of the Lambs, for example.
