Nice pics everyone. Melanie, I love seeing the roosting Zebra longwings.
I was hoping for a big butterfly observation day. It warmed to 70 by noon but no BFs. Cloudy and very windy. The only thing moving was leaves.
Checked the flower beds and noticed a caterpillar, then several more on the violas. I assume they are Variegated fritillary since there has been many adults in the yard this fall. Since I'm in area 7b, will they pupate and survive this late in the year?
