One of the twenty-four solar terms: Insects Waken

It is on March 5th or 6th. The weather is getting warmer. Spring thunders wake up the animals (including insects) which hibernate underground.

我們的故事：

我們一歲的女兒最近經常拿着一本黃色的小“昆蟲”書。這是她爸爸小時候的第一本昆蟲書。前幾天，當我們吃早餐的時候，她偶然翻到 Morning Cloak（意思是早晨斗篷）蝴蝶的一頁，她爸爸指着它說: “在早春，這是其中一種我們可以看到的蝴蝶。”

假若你居住在北美洲，希望你很快會看見它。

Our story:

Our one-year-old daughter started carrying the little yellow “Insects” book recently. It was her dada’s (father’s) first insect book that he got when he was a kid. The other day, sitting in her high chair, she turned to a page which had a Morning Cloak butterfly by chance while we were having breakfast. Dada pointed at it, “This is one of the earliest butterflies we see in the spring.”

If you live in North America, hope you see one soon.
