Went to the museum today and got to release three Giant Swallowtails and three Zebra Longwings. I also caught two Checkered Whites and three Gulf Fritillaries. So the flight cage is looking pretty interesting. I took my Monarch caterpillars in so they can have enough food to grow up and pupate. Of course, I came home and found another caterpillar but I left him on the plant. He should have enough if it's just him. I also spotted a Buckeye and a Painted Lady. Now, if I could just start finding swallowtails - or them find me and my host plants! Oh, and Dad found two Monarch chrysalises - one on the hose bib and one on the hose itself. I brought them inside with the others.

Here's a Giant ST at the museum, me holding a bunch of Great Southern White eggs (laid on pepper grass), a male Monarch basking in my yard, and that pesky Monarch caterpillar I found.
