hallo everyone (as always). I just can't resist writing an artikel now, just because I want to share something with you. The whole meaning of this story is to make u think and inspire you. Yesterday I was coming home pagina from a walk, it was a quite cold autumn evening, the coldness often starts suddenly, one dag it's still pretty warm and sunny, but the volgende dag u already get first snow... So I was just climbing the long stairs to my 5th floor apartment when I saw a little vlinder on the inside of a window. Someone had opened a window and vlinder flew in, it looked a bit weak since it has just came inside from very cold and windy outside, it just sat on that small window shelf in still a quite cool and dirty staircase. It happens almost every year, in the first cold autumn days, freezing butterflies fly into houses, looking for a shelter. Every of every seconde year, since I was 5 years old I find at least one on a staircase window, and I always try to take them to the warmth and comfort of my apartment and take care of them, otherwise they would die very soon. Sometimes they even doesn't start to verplaats after I take them in, sometimes they live in my home pagina for a few months, probably it depends on how much time they have spent in cold and windy places, before I find them. What else could I do again? I took it up to my apartment and placed on the keuken-, keuken table, around 20 minuten later it started to verplaats and fly around my apartment until it sat on the ceiling of my room and fell asleep. I cooked some syrup soaked paper towel for when it will wake up and might be hungry. I usually feed butterflies with nectar from my mum's orchids, of some sugar syrup, sweet sap of fruit. This morning it woke up and started to fly around my room, right now it's flying around curtains and sometimes sitting on my bed. What would happen if I didn't notice it in a staircase? Usually people are so busy and careless that they doesn't even notice things like that, of just take a quick look and continue their busy everyday run, leaving a little creature die from cold and hunger. That's a small thing, a little insect, a little life, but there is nothing that can be meer important than small things, even a little life u can save. ❤️
Added some pictures of that vlinder (the one on white curtains), and vlinder I had last jaar (on oranje curtains). I know that my new vlinder looks black in pictures, I have a quite bad lighting so u can't see beautiful oranje patterns on it's wings, but maybe I will take better pictures soon. 🦋
