I recently rescued a little butterfly that could not fly.
It was a Gulf Fritillary butterfly that had very tattered and torn wings and one wing was folded over.
There was no way he could even reach the flowers to feed and I found him on the stone walkway of my little garden.
I did not want him to end up as prey for a lizard of a bird, so I fixed a large terrarium with leaves, sticks and fresh flowers each morning.
This would be his new protective home.

I would lift him on my finger and he loved the nectar from the lantana the best.

Sadly he died a couple days ago. I had become so attached to that little butterfly and hoped he would live longer. I believe they only live about 4 weeks... not nearly long enough!
