RE: Ever Caught A Butterfly with Your Bare Hands?
Beautifull how you saved the life of the Butterfly. You do seem to know a lot about Nature. Like your informative posts, did not know that blinding thing about wingdust.
thank you!
well it would take a huge one to get you temporarily blinded (edited the article)
but the powder would hurt and could cause eye irritation.
It would actually cause more damage to the butterfly because they need that powder to keep their wings coated. They're actually more of "scales" but they looked more like powder..
When I was young, my cousins and I used to go butterfly hunting and I saw the technique from my grandfather. We never used a net, he said that the powder/scales on the butterflies' wings protect them and when a butterfly gets caught in a net - they tend to flap their wings too fast to release the dust to protect themselves just like what a tarantula does with his bristles. The butterfly loses too much dust and his wings would easily get torn and have holes - he would no longer be able to fly. How I held the male is the most ideal way of catching them. He wasn't able to flap his wings but the female did try to flap her hind wings and i got them on my fingers. I saw them again just this morning. Holiday in South Korea now so I could enjoy this beautiful summer extension.
ik zag dat je da poost over de steemfeest gelezen hebt - agenda net gechecked - mijn man geef een cursus die dagen behalve een dag - ik kan maar mischien - een dag naartoe gaan T.T
Did not know that about butterflies, Thanks for the info Ivy!
{NL} Steemfeest leuk idee, voor mij denk ik buiten bereik. Ben meestal niet zo van drukke mensenmassa's. Liever ergens incognito met enkele anderen. Maar het is aan de andere kant wel een uniek, eens in het leven, gebeuren. En in Nederland. Ik laat het even bezinken. :-)
Have a nice Holiday!
@oaldamster .. that was not the original message, I did the steps but I couldn't see my posts. I promoted both butterfly posts and I couldn't see them.
Then, I scrolled down and found them almost at the bottom so I spent more SD - one paid off and the other didn't.
Thank you for always being helpful! I've been away, a bit under the weather yesterday. Been too busy lately - yet still so many things to do. Prioritizing is a bit of a challenge these days.
You're welcome.
And take it Easy, one step at a time Ivy! Hope you feel better soon.
@oaldamster how does that promote button actually work?
over steemfeest mischien ga ik ook niet -
grote crowd maak me wel zorgen ik ben eigenlijk introvert
ik word duizellig en heel moe in een sociale vergadering
Ik hou wel van feestje, dancen en eten zolang dat het niet gepraat wordt - liever gaat schrijven..
.. wel trots dat het hier zal gebeuren
You press promotie and then you put the amount of SBD in. Conform it and it's done.
After that, as I see it, the same aspects are of influence. It is a gamble to put it blunt. No guarantee.
{NL} Het SteemFest vind ik een pracht idee.
Ieder heeft zo haar/ zijn uitdagingen. En natuurlijk ook talenten!
Het is wel iets unieks daar ben ik mij zeer bewust van. En ergens ben ik ook wel aan het denken hoe ik in ieder geval even een meet and greet kan doen.
Maar hoe dan ook, het zal een bijzonder gebeuren worden.
