Full Span...

You may have to scroll this one a bit. She's on an old 2x4, warming up in the sun,
preparing for the maiden flight. There's nothing quite like heat to get a butterfly's
engines revved up.

A 2x4 is really 3.5 inches wide, and her wingspan is just about the same. A big gal. Hmmm...why do we think it's a gal and not a guy?!
