It was a Swallowtail Butterflies group. She might have deleted the whole group since I can't find it in the list of FB butterfly groups. Maybe she herself sympathized with the Trump administration or maybe she just didn't want the hassle of patrolling posts about the topic. Maybe she just wanted sunny, happy, oh-look-at-this-pretty-butterfly posts. I don't know. Very sad state of affairs.
