Happy Labor Day everyone. :) Ju, thanks for the I.D. of the RSP.
Fellow butterflies enthusiasts/gardening friends. I need to get busy providing my Monarch cats a safe refuge. Please wish me well for this year 'Monarch in the Garden'.

Also, I just took one Sulphur caterpillar to the "pillar house" this morning. Once there were 5-6 of them, this morning there is only ONE left! sniff, sniff!

As some of us knew/researched that plants release some kind of "hormone" to attract bees/wasp to counter act the danger of being defoliated by cats. Well, I have personally experience this phenomenon. Live and learn.

Oh, there were a spider lay in wait for the caterpillars. I knocked it off the senna, but other predators must have found the cats!
