Ksenia loves all these insects. Spending most of the time catching them. We have a progress, explaining to her, that there is no need to kill them every time )). That butterfly was just sitting on her hand then she flew away.

Ксюша любит всех насекомых без исключения! Большую часть времени на даче проводит в поисках их. С нашей помощью, она стала к ним более внимательно, и не старается не убивать их сразу, как только поймает :-). Эта бабочка удивительно спокойно сидела у нее на руке, пока Ксюша ходила по участку и нам ее показывала. Потом она улетела.
