Well, this is one of the stranger wildlife interactions I’ve had in my yard. I’m sitting out here working with my laptop and a bag of M&Ms and this butterfly flies towards me and goes straight for the bag. I stare in disbelief as it climbs in, fumble for my phone, and snap a few shots before it climbs out and flies away.
