Critter of the week - Part 2

Ok I had promised a weekly 'animal or plant' of the week a few months ago but i did not follow up on it! I apologize about this and will now post a regular cool critter or plant of the week as I got lot's of good feedback at Christmas time about this kind of post.

This week for plant of the week, I decided to add a flower that can be found at T.R.E.E.S, if anybody knows what it is please send us a comment and we will see who will be the winner this week!

For the critter of the week, I have added this butterfly found in the lime orchard two days ago!

Good luck!!!
