Scanning for butterflies, in April

In my backyard, scanning for butterflies, in April.

Cabbage White - non native
California Sister - native
Yellow Swallowtail - non native

Stop classifying, you colonizer. The need to know and record
stems from ownership. Like a pirate counting your jewels.

They don't know where they're from.
They are just beautiful.

Just butterflies.
Temporary.

Like you.
