On this morning’s walk, I also encountered a moth and a butterfly.  Both were unassuming — the moth just a flutter of brown whose wings I never even got to see, and the butterfly with bright yellow wings that were less than an inch across.  The little yellow butterfly is, in fact, a Little Yellow Butterfly  (Eurema lisa).  For lack of identifying features in my photograph, I will call the moth a Little Brown Moth.  Who knows?  That could be its name, after all.

  1. both of these, really neat.

    • Robin,

      Thank you. I love how the little yellow butterfly I saw is simply called a Little Yellow. And I like the juxtaposition of the two — the title invites a children’s story about these two characters.
