Description

I have seen a few but never could get close.this little guy was missing an antennae and very small.about 1 inch in width and hand held capture the captain had a change of heart and released her crew and the dragon was just lonely and wanted attention.it felt misaligned by the public. really it is a gentle creature thanks for viewing and any comments

Poor butterfly has hit on hard times so early in the season! But spring and summer come much earlier to you then to us. So perhaps it's been around awhile already!
