The orange butterfly was sitting on my driveway when I pulled my car out of the garage that morning. When I returned eight hours later, it was in the same spot — on a blue drainspout between the two garage doors. “The wing is ripped!” said my daughter as she crouched down to inspect the damage –forgetting that she is petrified of bugs.
