We don't get any humming birds, and there are very few butterflies by my apartment. But I found this in a pile of junk in the woods.

@lysslyss508 Your hummingbird makes me laugh because he is clearly contemplating eating all these butterflies.

And technically a "Cabbage Moth" but close enough right?

@chevymom I took the photo at a nature museum that has a collection of butterflies from around the world, none of them from the midwest US - I'm sorry I don't remember where this one was from!
