Leprechauns love butterflies because they flaunt every color of the rainbow. Some real butterflies are even green, such as the Malachite, Olivewing and Paris Peacock pictured below, but I seriously doubt whether they could be Irish too!


Never trust a Leprechaun, but do visit our Kid&#8217;s Craft Page, where you can download butterfly coloring pages for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We often get asked, &#8220;What do butterflies eat?&#8221;. . .

A perfect snowflake falls
Gently descending
Into a journey unending
It begins by
Waking to a dream
Of melting into stream
Then travels
As rainbow mist
Of waterfall color kissed
Only to rise again
A cloud cast night
Cloaking the moon’s soft light

Transformed anew
Sails to earth a drop of dew
Nurturer now
Of seedlings sought
By sweet sunflowers it is caught
Bright yellow blooms
Spring from the ground
Life for those [...]]]></description>
