Ruth picked a Holly Blue in our bog butterfly and art creativity project #Kilteevan Roscommon and said it inspired her to get more into nature and be curious about bog wildlife. We ran the project in June and came back this month with postcards for the children of their artwork and stamps! #LoveBogs
