Namesake

This morning my neighbor did me the great honor of naming one of her butterflies after me. J owns a small butterfly pavilion,and is doing her part to regularly bring new butterflies into the world.

This is not Petrea, however. Petrea is shy and retiring, doesn't like to have her picture taken. This is Tickle, who enjoys a lift on your palm so much that it's hard to get her to dismount. I also got to meet Katy Perry, who is as pretty and showy as you'd expect.

I never thought I'd witness a miracle this morning, but I got to watch Stretchy Junior Junior emerge from his chrysalis. J has probably released all these lovelies by now, and I expect to see Stretchy JJ, Katy P, Tickle, and even Petrea flitting about the neighborhood at any moment. It doesn't matter to them if I remember their names, but at least one of them will stay with me for a long time.
