I have not gotten eggs (yet) on my PV...but when I took cats to raise, they ate them pretty much equally. However the wooly pv seems to grow faster to me. But that said, it has a lot of stem, where the fimbriata is more compact.
Now.....my luck may be turning a bit. I photographed three PVSTs for over 45 min yesterday just before the rain moved in. They were nectaring on the native Phlox that is looking pretty bad right now. But anything is an oasis in this heat I suppose. The males took off then the female, so no mating pics.....darn. But I be they will be looking for one another today.
