Let me introduce you all, to my newest little babe: Myfanwy. I found her as a larvae at a lake just outside of town, and was pleasantly surprised when she very quickly slipped into her little pupa. Today, only about a week or two after finding her, I came home from work to a very pleasant surprise: my little girl had hatched! I was unable to identify her until today, and am happy to know that she is a very healthy female Mourning Cloak. A beautiful name for such a beautiful butterfly: I love it. I named her after a good friend of mine, whose name was going to be the Welsh name Myfanwy, but instead was chosen to be Jessica. I've always found the name to be so beautiful, it meaning "lovely little one", so I'm dedicating this little precious to her. :heart: Because you love these little guys even more so than me, Jay. :heart:

Her markings amaze me, they're even more vibrant than in the photo: a shimmery indigo and a pale yellow like the inside of petunias. I love her so much, and hope she thrives in her very loving home.

Butterfly kisses from the both of us. :butterfly:
