UK butterfly species down to 56
Only 56 species of butterflies left in the United Kingdom? Can you even imagine a world without the magic of butterflies? The miracle of metamorphosis?

I went to a butterfly farm with over 100 species of butterflies once. All flying around in a colorful tickertape of bright colors and delicate wings. It was beautiful.

I remember catching a luna moth one summer at our cottage. It was the size of a small bird, and one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen.

A world without butterflies is too terrible to contemplate.

    I'm rapidly of the opinion that we should just nuke the entire planet. I mean, if the only three guaranteed things are taxes, fucking up the planet, and death. I say, let's cut out the taxes.

    No?

    We have a butterfly tree in our yard and it does draw the flutterbys. Sometimes the tree is loaded with them. They are beautiful.
