Ivy, love those pics. of various cats. and the Cloudless Sulphur. I ventured out to a small field nearby where I live, which has wild passionflowers growing -- in search of those Fritillaries, but none was found. I've seen Gulf Frits frequent my garden here in the past. Where as the Variegated frits were a rarity. Their chrysalides are so beautiful, I hope to rear some one of these days, just to marvel about their beauties. The Giant Swallowtails are some of the butterflies in which I haven't seen in my area. Are those butterflies bigger than others, thus called giants?

Brendak, those are great pics.! I haven't seen very many Monarch, but a few fly by, now and then.

But, wooohooo! I released 2 more female Monarchs today. The day was sunny and beautiful. I bid them farewell, there couldn't be better time to see them take flight.
