Sleepy Orange or Cloudless sulphur, thanks Ivy. As far as BSTs; from my past experience. Some of my BST chrysalid will go into diapause over winter and surprised me by awaken the following Spring to emerge. I believe I've roughly a dozen of them left indoor.

I have begun my Monarch nurturing station. I've dozen 1st instars now. This is my first time collecting a large number of those tiny little cats and bringing them indoor. In years past, I discovered 'em when they were bigger and easy to spot in the garden.

Ivy, thank you for sharing those fabulous pics. of various critters in the garden beside the butterflies. I dreaded those robberflies especially for the caterpillars' sake. Also wasps, I've seen wasps capture and carried their preys back to their nest; not a very pretty sight!
