My wife loves these “Ernie’s Cabin” videos. I picked this one because it has a luna moth–an animal I’ve never seen in person. And a tiger swallowtail, my favorite. But the star is the butterfly who simply refuses to get off the man’s hand.

Sanity Break: Butterflies
Ugh, the nooze! Pandemic. Politics. Riots. I’m supposed to be covering it, but feh. And double-fesh.
Here, instead, is some of God’s stuff: assorted butterflies filmed in slow motion, courtesy of the Houston Butterfly Museum. It reminds me of my grandpa’s butterfly bush, which attracted colorful customers from all around. I used to watch it by the hour.
The works of God’s hands are everywhere for us to see: a sure sign that God is nigh.
The Lord is with us. Every day.
Beautiful Tiger Swallowtail
Hi, Mr. Nature here–and I just can’t let the summer pass without saluting one of my favorite critters, the tiger swallowtail butterfly. Happily, they’re not uncommon around here. I saw a nice one this morning.
The one in this video is a male. The females have a border of metallic blue spots along the bottom of their wings; and some females have black wings. I always thought that was another species, but I was wrong.
As man’s stuff continues to deteriorate, God’s stuff is still going strong-and this is one of the most beautiful examples of it.
It would be a sorry world that had to do without butterflies!
