Are you certain it was a live cat it was eating Sherri? I had seen something simular when first raising them and it was a skin that it sheds and then turns around and eats. Here is a pic of a BST just leaving it's old skin behind. The color is completely different.

Another note....GFs overwinter here, unless we have a bad winter. They come out on sunny days an take nourishment. Development is very slow, but they will survive most of the time. The second pic I thought might have been a Zebra and Dale Clark told me it was a Gulf Frit also. The weather had turned off cold and it's appearance changed.
