"Know thyself! A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever observes himself arrests his own development. A caterpillar who wanted to know itself well would never become a butterfly." Andre Gide
We went camping and hiking in the White Mountains in northern Arizona in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Big Lake and Mount Baldy. Eric went trout fishing on the Little Colorado River and the West Fork of the Black River. We saw numerous butterflies such as these.

Glad to see this! Isn't that what mine is? I'm not up on my butterflies, obviously!
No, now I see the difference.
