Beautiful Butterfly

This beautiful Monarch is the same one flying high in my SkyWatch Friday photo.

I followed him around until he landed on my Butterfly Bush. Then, I slowly crept toward him until I could get this close.

Awesome, isn't it?

Fly With Me!

My larvae only eat the milkweed plant.

My pupa looks like a pretty green vase and becomes translucent as I transform.

When I emerge I am not a Viceroy even though we look alike.

I fly high and far.

Who am I?

Greek Poet Sappho

Greeks included Sappho in the canonical list of nine lyric poets. Her birth was sometime between 630 and 612 BC, and it is said that she died around 570 BC. The bulk of her poetry, which was well-known and greatly admired throughout antiquity, has been lost, but her immense reputation has endured through surviving fragments.
