The first of the Monarchs nurtured at Lee Memorial Library was released yesterday to great applause.

The butterfly, named Skippy the Peanut-Butter-Fly by Josh because he (the butterfly) made his chrysalis in a Skippy peanut butter jar, is likely on his way to Mexico.

A second butterfly, Sunbeam (below), should be released today. A third, soon.

You can watch the world's shortest video of Skippy's release here:
