lepidoptery

Today's photo comes from Mrs. Tuckersman, who submitted it to me via Gchat. It is of Nabokov hunting butterflies with a large net and outstanding outfit. After some discussion about lepidoptery and seeing some mounted butterflies for sale on West Elm, I felt curious about doing some killing and mounting of my own. Until I read the internet and decided that the process is way sad and gross, that is. Fly on, butterflies.

Speaking of, just today Ma was talking about how her best friend nicknamed her husband Butterfly, because he loves to prance around and show off.
