An unexpected rescue


Last weekend a friend of mine and I visited a wildlife sanctuary close to where we live. During the tour I spotted a small black butterfly flopping around on the gravel path around where the group was walking. I immediately recognized it as one of my very favorites, a Great Purple Hairstreak. It may be that she had emerged from her chrysalis not long before and fallen from wherever she'd been hanging.

Fearing that she'd be stepped on I started trying very carefully to pick her up so that she could be moved. That was a challenge. It took a few minutes but I got her in my hands and waited to locate a safe place to let her go again. I was successful and she was saved. As I haven't previewed my photos yet I don't know if any of the shots of her on the new perch turned out.

It gave me a warm feeling to be able to do it. I especially enjoyed being able to hold a species of butterfly that I never have before.
