Time to release the butterflies (Monday, March 26, 2018)

The Painted Lady butterflies emerged from their cocoons on Monday, March 26, 2018.  After waiting 2 or 3 hours for their wings to dry, they were ready for nectar or sliced fruit, drinking with their long proboscises.  Then, time to go free.

Four of the five butterflies flew away as soon as Fox opened their habitat.  But one Painted Lady landed on Fox's arm before taking flight.
