I don't know why those Polydamas won't fly over to TX. I can't tell you how many we have here. At the museum, the Polydamas make up nearly half of our butterflies. A lot of that is because the cats are so easy to raise; their survival rate is much higher than any other butterfly I've raised. My pipevines are just now starting to recover from being munched down to nubs. There was a Polydamas on the plumbago when I came home; probably one I released yesterday. He then hit the porterweed and then the bougainvillea. I guess he wanted to sample everything on the buffet!

Here's a White Peacock I got to release at the museum today.
