Milo has always been a beautiful, loving spirit since he was a puppy. He enjoys assisting his mother with whatever she is doing, especially while she is working in the garden. The family’s garden is filled with a variety of flowers and plants that attract a variety of butterflies — and it didn’t take long for Milo to become friends with all of the backyard butterflies.
“We grow lots of food and flowers in our garden so it is a wonderland for butterflies,” Jen Bennett, Milo’s mom, told The Dodo. “Two years ago we started raising monarchs, which has been so fun. Milo loves to watch all the butterflies fly around.”
The butterflies have come to be pretty fond of Milo, too, and often land on him to hang out for a while. Whenever they do, he’s always incredibly gentle and lets them perch on him for as long as they’d like.
“When they land on him, he is always patient,” Bennett added. “He witnesses their transformation alongside me, from young caterpillars to chrysalises and ultimately to butterflies.” He is aware that they are our buddies. He enjoys spending time with the butterflies. Every morning, we check on the butterflies.”
Milo has always been fantastic at posing for photographs and even has his own culinary program with his mom, so when the butterflies began to fall on him, it was a breeze to get a slew of wonderful photos of Milo and his butterfly pals.
Milo never misses an opportunity to see and spend out with every new butterfly that decides to stop by since the family’s garden has become such a paradise for butterflies from all over.
“We had millions of painted lady butterflies that migrated through our garden,” Bennett said. “It was like a cloud of butterflies coming though. He just kept looking up at them in wonder. Looking back and forth so fast to not to miss any!”
Milo loves his butterfly friends so much, and will always do his best to be gentle with them and protect them whenever they’re around.
