Speaking of Red Admirals this is the first year I have seen them in my yard. I was wondering why until I went to pull out an unsuspecting weed in my lawn and suddenly felt like my hand was on fire. Apparently Stinging nettles have started growing in my yard LOL
She comes by daily now and she looks as if she is laying eggs all over the Nettles. I am just afraid to touch the darn plants to look for the cats :(

Also I had another Monarch start visiting yesterday. If you saw my post about having Monarchs everywhere I still have 15 monarch cats in my cage. Yesterday they started pupating. I was lucky enough to find nice bushy Milkweed in Home Depot the other day and picked up 6 plants. My Milkweed was starting to thin down from feeding all those hungry cats. I knew it was a matter of time before a Monarch would spot the new plants :) So I may have more Monarch cats very soon!

Yesterday I had a Gulf Fritillary hatch! I haven't seen any around yet so I hope she finds a mate somewhere. My passion vines are ready to go!
