Hi Bruce, long time no type. :-) Whoa, you've BST larvae, are they from last year overwintered or current brood for the season? That's better than us down here in the South. What I mostly see out in the garden are caterpillars predators such as wasps, tichnid fly and spiders. I'm so blue about that. Looks as if mother nature knows best. And I am praying for a change out there. Only saw RSP every now and then, and an occasional Tiger Swallotail, few woodnyphs, and Grey Hairstreak, Silver-spotted skippers. Not many Sulphers either, in years past, the Sulphers will be abundant while I waited for other bfs.
Marna, I'm going to transplant some of those common MW into containers and hopefully I'll see some of those heavenly smelling, pretty flowers. I planted one in the front garden several years ago, but there isn't enough sun for them to flourish.

In previous years, when these flowers in bloom, there were all kind of Swallows bf. visiting them. This year? None, zip, nadda. :((
