The Mountain Ringlet is usually one of the last species that many butterfly enthusiasts get to see - with remote locations, a short flight period and only flying in bright conditions. But the egg is just spectacular too, and with a larva that goes through 6 instars (not the 4 documented by Frohawk)!

“It’s the taste, the texture, the sensation … wind on your face and your hair, just feeling the elements of nature. And it helps people feel alive, awakening in some way. These are things that are very therapeutic.” Gardening is about all of these things. 🎁 story.
