Quickie – the Monarch

Ezri found a chrysalis on our sidewalk.

Later on we found a monarch fluttering in our backyard.

Because the butterfly was so fast, Ezri named it “Quickie.”
Ezri declared that as “the finder of the butterfly, I get to say and she is a girl.”
Ivan staunchly defended his idea that Quickie was a boy.
I refused to weigh in and said Quickie was whichever gender (s)he was.
Anyone know how to sex a Monarch butterfly?

In other backyard news, we discovered this today and look forward to eating it soon.
