Rubes by Leigh Rubin for September 05, 2023

Too many bitters in my drink, barkeep!

They’re really down in the moth.

Or…SWAT No bitterflies!

They’ll be bitter when they become a splat on somebody’s windshield…..

this one bugs me

Wouldn’t they still be caterpillars at this stage?

Monarchs live for 2 to 6 weeks, except, one generation a year migrates south and lives 6 to 9 months in order to make the round trip. Imagine living 8 times as long as your parents.

You should just fly by night

I know a woman who saves found butterfly wings. When she finds a butterfly with damaged wing but still alive she will do surgery. Removes the damaged wing, glues on one of the saved good wings and a day later lets the creature go with it’s new wing to get to migration.

I’ve always wondered why they weren’t called: ‘FLUTTERBYs’.

Then they’d be moths.

Look at the bright side. We flap our wings a few times and Florida has a really bad day.

Two butterflies walk into a bar…

They’re gonna be three sheets to the wing.

Yah. And some don’t even get a chance to mate.

Sadly, butterflies don’t make cocoons. Neither, though, do they speak English, so I shall let it slide…
