Junia Spelman, 4, observes a painted lady butterfly at a butterfly release at the Ada Public Library on Tuesday afternoon. She is the daughter of Jonathan and Anne Marie Spelman. Kenzie VanHoose, 2, marvels at a butterfly that landed on her hand during the release. The orange and black-spotted “painted lady butterfly” becomes large, with a wing span of 2-3 inches, and lives about two weeks. (Monty Siekerman photos)
