A just about square, framed watercolor drawing of three butterflies (according to the museum title, then translated from Dutch; but at least one of them might be a moth) at right, and a dragonfly toward the lower left corner. Toward the lower right corner is the artist's signature over the word "fecit."

Did you know that butterflies taste with their feet? This special skill helps them to figure out where to lay their eggs.

Today is #NationalLearnAboutButterfliesDay! Butterflies are important because they help to pollinate flowers.

In #Bewitched S5s “I Don’t Want to Be a Toad, I Want to Be a Butterfly,” Tabitha turns one of her classmates at nursery school, Amy Catherine Taylor, into a #butterfly.

(2/10) #NationalLearnAboutButterfliesDay, as its name suggests, is dedicated to learning about butterflies.

The Sex Work Historian’s infographic for National Learn About Butterflies Day. The image is on a dark blue background and features an image done by Pumpkabooty. The image is of a butterfly on a boat to express migration. The wings of the butterfly incorporate the world to express the global nature of migration. The boat itself is made of red umbrellas (the international symbol for sex workers’ rights). And, the image also has The Sex Work Historian logo (a grey-multi-coloured peach).

(1/10) March 14 is #NationalLearnAboutButterfliesDay! I made the same acknowledgment last year. However, I wanted to repeat it.
