"Momdude," said six year-old Lola, staring into my eyes and speaking with the intensity of Christopher Walken in the watch scene from "Pulp Fiction." "I forgot to tell you something. When we were at Dolores Park, I saw a flock of butterflies."
"Oh, that's nice, honey," I said abstractedly.
Lola grabbed my arm. "Now I am afraid of butterflies." She shuddered.

Doppelgangers!
I'm glad it's not just me. Have you ever really looked at one of those things up close? Sure the wings are pretty... but the rest is creepy! lol
doppelgangers would be such a rocking name for a roller-derby team. or one of those gangs from warriors.
That was adorable.
And I agree. They do look cute from afar and pretty but when you get close and you see the legs and insect-iness...ugh. I prefer caterpillars.
