Ooh, I have two Giants in their chrysalis. I can't wait until they emerge!

Yup, I bought a big bunch of parsley (organic, of course) from the supermarket. Most plants stay good in the fridge for several days and the cats are eating it and no one's puked or died yet so I figure they like it.

So I was out picking passion vine this evening and gave my cherry tree the once over while dodging mosquitos. I still haven't found any more Red-Spotted Purple cats, but I did find this interesting guy. I looked in my books and I think he's a Nason's Slug Moth. If someone seconds me, I'll add him to the Bug Files and take more pics. At least I knew better than to touch him! I enjoy petting my caterpillars, but only the ones who don't sting me in return. They can stinkhorn me, but no stinging.
