Your story:

The Canadian Tiger Swallowtail

The more northern butterfly has only one generation per year, while glaucus has two. Another distinctive difference is that the Canadian Tiger Swallowtail does not have the black female form that occurs in glaucus. Oddly enough, the only exceptions to this rule are the occasional all-black females that have appeared in Newfoundland, despite the fact that they do not appear in New England (Morris, 1980).

My story:

I watched them long on that yet another, warm, south wind day, performing unaware of the audience  they held captive. Suddenly I ran for my camera. Still engaged on my return, they soared, landed, fluttered chased. I mused, ”Oh Twyla, could you have but choreographed a performance like this". http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/page/tha0bio-1

 I thought too of my dear Kate when a toddler saying “Oh mom look! a flutter bye bye.”
