The other night we were watching an episode of West Wing (we've become addicted and are now watching season 2 on DVD), and heard a funny rustling sound by the fireplace in our living room. Upon inspection, it turned out that this beautiful butterfly had somehow made it down the chimney and through layers of paper and plastic (sealing off the fireplace) to gain freedom in our living room. It was about the size of a swallowtail and, while I haven't yet been able to identify it, it was incredibly beautiful. The blue bands on the wings were irridescent, like mother-of-pearl. Needless to say, the Lavender lepidopterists were exceptionally excited and, after observing the beauty, took it to freedom outside.
