Releasing the butterflies

Earlier this evening, we released our little beauties outside - so neat! They quickly fluttered away - but the last one decided to hang out a bit longer on Jon's cheek and neck before he took off.  :)

First, a few close ups (through the plastic of the habitat, so not super duper crisp but you get the idea!)  Aren't they just gorgeous?!

And then here we are releasing them in our backyard!  :)

Hopefully they mate and create a few more little guys around our neighborhood this summer!  :)
