Butterfly Lady.  The Purposeful Habitat.
She's a no-nonsense champion for the order Lepidoptera and an articulate advocate of wildlife friendly habitat in the city. Cindi Cope, the Butterfly Lady, reminds the thoughtful gardner that there's more to creating a butterfly habitat than maintaining a backyard full of bright flowers. Like Cindi, we at Crow's Cottage view the butterfly and its natural habitat as a meaningful slice of reality. We invite you to come visit us for a spell, share a pitcher of iced tea, and have a look at the swallowtails, painted lady, great spangled fritillaries, and buckeye at work and play in the gardens. It's too hot to do anything else.

A Bonus Image.
It could become a screensaver.

Notices announcing new entries for Crow's Cottage Glossary and Compendium are sent by e-mail express to my list of family, friends, students, and fellow travelers. If you've come here by some other means, I invite you to write me at the address below so I can add you to the list.  It's a private list, shared with no one and guarded by a flock of warrior crows with loud alarms and diligent fairies with tricks of illusion.  Aggressive or pacific — you choose — the guardians are in our service to ensure your privacy.
