Ivy, there are many different types of Sulphurs, I don't know exactly what kind I have, but the little jewel morphed and now I've my very first chrysalis. I was so pleased.

Okay, here is a "shocker" of a hugemongous caterpillar. I've been searching, searching for these cats since early spring, I look for them from Pentas, and brugs and daturas. I finally found one, but then I wasn't quick enough on my feet - so to speak. I ran inside and tried to find something to cut the daturas that the cat was on, by the time I went back outside, the cat was gone, but evidence tells me, it didn't vanish, for there was greenish frass-like left behind. The poor thing was a total loss! It was the Tersa Sphinx moth. It would have been a beauty to behold.
