Question Mark Butterfly

 

Folded, unfolding

according to a rhythm

I'm learning by heart

*A question mark butterfly has been making her home on my front porch. Today I spotted her resting on a leopard plant leaf as I brought in the groceries. Question marks are notoriously darting and fluttery, so it was a great surprise to see her resting for several minutes, even when my camera was clicking away. When her wings are closed, she looks just like a leaf - and then she opens to glorious golden orange.
