However, when you read about OE, the ways it is spread to other butterflies, eggs and plants, it probably would be best if she had been euthanized right away after her being found in the pool. I'm not trying to be a party pooper, but the spread of this disease is a tragedy. I also can see that this story can open other eyes to the problems of being a butterfly, to let us know it is not all nectar and milkweed to be a butterfly. Anything that educates more folks about our passion--butterflies--is a good thing too. When you read the comments that have been made, it is an eye-opener.

For some reason, that little Butterfly opened up a whole new way of seeing the world for me. In many ways she opened up my eyes to all Butterflies who come to visit my backyard and how special, and fleeting, their life can be. Thanks again for the comments.

Only a life span of MAX' of 6 weeks, Timothia lived to middles age, if she were a human that would be 35to50yrs, a dog or cat 8-12 yrs. Its all in your perception, She got to fly, have a fling, gave birth, all in the safety of a beautiful environment . Some could be so lucky! Awesome story......

I don't find it strange that you found a connection with a butterfly at all -- it was beautifully told, too! Thank you for sharing this with all of us :) This is an incredible story.
