There were many butterflies in North Georgia this year — I spotted at least 4 variations of swallowtails and at least another dozen other species over this late summer. There are three butterflies in this piece and two small beetles, a ladybug and a tiny green beetle inspired by the many beetles in the garden. The grass is made from various vintage and newer wires pulled from a variety of electronic devices in my stash.
