Are you sure its one?
Certain.
But you said they were extinct.
I thought they were too.
So what do we do?
Stand still for one.
It’s dangerous?
Rip your throat faster than you can say run.
But it’s a butterfly.
Its no ordinary butterfly its Lepidoptera Viciousness.
You are kidding.
Never kid about a viciousness.
But your friend thinks there are only snakes and spiders that will killer when she visits. She’ll freak out over this.
Not as much as you when it goes for your throat.
It wouldn’t.
DON”T take your eyes off it.
I’m not. What do we do?
Back away, slowly any sudden move and it could be curtains.
I want to sneeze.
Don’t.
But but but but but…ahhhhhh…..chooooooo.
Oh dear I said not to make any sudden moves….Nice work Vic, now back in your cage and lets go hunt down the science professor who failed me last week.

Oh dear…and I used to love butterflies. Clever, Michael, clever 🙂
Thank you Lyn, you never know how nature might evolve do you….
What with that and the blood-sucker moths, the garden’s not a safe place to be these days.
Climate change Keith??? One never knows what one might encounter…thanks for stopping….
O excellent. I never would have thought you could get a thriller from such a beautiful picture.
Thank you, there’s a potential thriller in any scenario you just have to look closer to see it. Thanks for stopping by.
Great work Michael, as much as you tried, I still will love butterflies 😉
Well I should hope so most of them are just beautiful.
LOL! They’re going to go get the professor that failed him! Great story Michael. Never thought you could make a horror story out of a butterfly. hahaha!
Thanks Joy, nothing is impossible it just takes a little more imagination…
Haha! That’s very true!
