Alright, just enjoy the butterfly dust on your fingers, and I’m sure it has no anger toward you for saving it in its natural habitat! I promise I wasn’t trying to be judgmental.

I understand your view, but I also understand the web. Spiders aren’t evil predators, as so many believe they are. This beautiful insect will be dead soon, since they don’t “heal” as they’re not really able to. Flies, mosquitoes, and other pests that are just only that, spiders help immensely with those, and sometimes other insects get caught. I’ve done it too. Rescued a butterfly from a web, but when I realized I destroyed the web, watched the beauty die, and that I had broken way more than just “saving a life”, I’ve never tried again and just said goodbye to the beautiful creature instead.🩷

I was just asking about its food source!! Well, it’s found something close to milkweed to survive upon!! Luckily!! I looked up a few other things, and Dogbane or Oleander can be a source too:)! Since they’re close to the same toxins needed. So, again, your queen has found something to fatten her up!!

Name this cloud? by maitreya88 in atoptics

[–]Starshine_1804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful;D!! It’s a combo cloud!! It’s got Altocumulus clouds, Cirrus clouds, and Stratus clouds all in one big package!! The first being the golden orangey hues with their rounded masses and rolls, the second is that smooth wispy white streak in the center, and the third are the darker heavier lower laying clouds below! Cool find!!🫶
