Today when we came home, we tried to release both Godzilla and Mothra - especially as they wee flapping away in the netted hold that I had them in.
We took them downstairs and went outside, somewhat doubtful that they would be able to leave as the temperature is only 22C or 71.6F for my friends south of the border. Butterflies require 30C or 86F to be able to fly properly as they are cold blooded critters.
It turns out that Godzilla was willing to fly and finally made it into a tree - yes, finally, after several tries at flying and also with me holding him in hand for a time.
However, Mothra was just not ready to test these colder temps to fly. Tonight, Mothra is going to roost with us indoors and tomorrow morning I will try and launch Mothra again.
Thank-you for reading and have an awesome evening! MNN
