I am overrun with BST cats this weekend!!! I found another "population" on some parsley that "bolted" and went to seed months ago. I didn't think there was enough foliage on it to feed one cat let alone a dozen or more (forgot to count!!!). In any event, this population looks different from the ones I've collected from my healthy green parsley - photo attached. Both BST, right? I watched them eating the seed casings because there is no foliage!

Still no Monarchs, but we did have a sighting on Saturday and my boyfriend said he watched her laying eggs.

Also - setting up containers for the BST cats ready to spin themselves into their cocoons - what's the best placement of twigs or media for them to hang from? I've only hatched out 2 or 3 BST in my butterfly career. It seemed they like to be almost vertical. Think I read someone just runs paper towels around the inside of the enclosure - guess they can hang from almost any porous surface. Your thoughts are welcome.

Thanks!
