So, in the interest of balance, I bring you a butterfly and a bunny. How sweet is that? :)
American Lady (Vanessa virginiensis), nectaring on Cat's-ear (Hypochoeris radicata).
Eastern Cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus), blending in with the scenery next to the boardwalk.
This particular rabbit looks to be a "teenager" and still has some growing to do. Cottontails in North Carolina average about 3 to 3.5 pounds (roughly 1.4 to 1.6 kg) when fully grown.

I can't wait to show Bloggy Jr. He loves bunnies and butterflies!
The softer side of Swampy! :)
Aw ...
And just seconds later, the butterfly fluttered down, plunged its venomous proboscis into the bunny, dissolved its flesh into a nutritious soup, and sucked it up. Nothing was left but bunny's ears and scut.
(never let me tell bedtime stories to children ...)
LOL!!! Another twisted mind -- how refreshing ;)
ROFL Sara! OMG!
Unfortunately, the only bunnies I see nowadays are passed away ones. My part coyote/part shepard dog likes to go out into the pastures/fields and forage. I'm constantly removing dead something-or-others from my front yard.

You are soooo not off the hook for turtles! No such thing as too many turtles, you know.
