Congratulations Lori and debuli. Debuli, your butterfly has a very long way to travel to Mexico! I know that unbelievable moment that is so mesmerizing you can't move to get your camera.

Horace, my Black Swallowtail is still in his chrysalis (he may be she). Two of my Monarch babies didn't make it. I still have two left in my cage and they are healthy and growing. I think I will name them Ho and Hum -- easy to say and easy to remember.

Checked my garden this afternoon in the aftermath of the rain, wind, and storm. The plants did the best they could. Many broke off with fallen limbs on them. My canna did survive. I found a Monarch cat on a big canna leaf. It must have wondered from the nearby Milkweed. Checking a moment ago, it is back on the milkweed chomping away.
