"I like butterflies, especially when you catch them while they are still caterpillars. Deep fried and dipped in a little honey mustard sauce, they are delicious," quipped a columnist for the Daily News in nearby Alamogordo, admitting a particular fondness for those from Cloudcroft, which are "sort of spicy."
