I snapped some photos of what is probably the last butterfly of the season today. I haven't seen many in the last week with the cooler weather settling in. She was enjoying the blooms from my garden lettuce that has gone to seed.
That is until the garden help caught and ate her!
Oops! LOL! Oh dear!
♥
Ouch! What an ending!
ReplyDeleteHopefully it was quick and painless!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny.
ReplyDeleteUh Oh!!!
ReplyDeleteI have had sooooo many hummingbirds lately! I try to keep the feeders full cause I know one morning I will look out and they will be gone!
nanny ~ you're probably getting all of ours who have flown south for the winter!
ReplyDeleteLast week I was standing on my deck daydreaming when two snow white butterflies came into my field of vision ... they were pure magic and I believe good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck? Uh Oh...what if your cat eats it? Bad luck? hahaha
ReplyDeleteOh, no! Hopefully, she never knew what bit her! ;) Our little Assassin takes out so many little creatures... makes me sad, but they are just living true to their little hunting natures. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteoh no...those cats! I saw two monarchs in the children's garden at my daughter's school today...i hope it's not the last!
ReplyDeleteThe collage is really pretty - but what an ending! Pretty funny!
ReplyDeleteoh tragic ending...the last bit of summer eaten by the cat...
ReplyDeleteWell I summer if really over for that little butterfly. And someone is licking his chops!!!
ReplyDeleteI know...I guess it's a sign that summer is really gone! lol..
ReplyDeleteI hope she was able to lay some eggs before her untimely demise. I love how you did the collage.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! I was so enjoying the butterfly when "BAM" she was all gone!!
ReplyDeleteHa!!

Sueann ~ me, too! Quick as a wink!
ReplyDeletehahaha well I suppose
ReplyDeleteIt could have waited for winter and froze
At least this way it made a yummy snack
As the cat went on the attack
They are doing a good job of clearing out your zoo
Pretty soon it will just be 100000 kitties and you..haha
My little cat has been bringing mangled butterflies into the house all summer too, the little sod.
ReplyDeletePat ~ yep, I don't think I'll have to think twice
ReplyDeleteabout getting any mice!
100000? Well, now aren't you encouraging!
Now you've got me worrying! lol...
Tony ~ oh no! We used to have a cat that played with his catch until it stopped playing along. I think I like the quick death a little better! ha. Thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteOH NO! Murderer Marmalade!
ReplyDeleteBetter a butterfly than a wasp, although I'd think the "dusty" wings would make your kitty's mouth a little dry. Every once in a while, a wasp gets into our house and drives our cats wild. So far, we've managed to keep them from catching one, but they are determined little hunters.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen many butterflies lately either and the weather hasn't turned cold here yet! Poor butterfly becoming a snack for the kitty. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe kitty must have been nervous...he had butterflies in his tummy ; )
ReplyDeleteCat ~ lol....good one! hahaha
