Well, wouldn't you know it. I was out in the yard yesterday and took photos of the rue blossoms. Also took a closer look at the plants and saw four small second instar caterpillars!!! Never saw a BST in my yard much less laying eggs...those BSTs are sneaky!!!

Took photos of them today and also found a larger - third instar cat as well as an egg. No wonder I never saw the eggs...the BST laid them under the flower petals!!! Very camouflaged!!! Funny thing...I pulled up the photo of the blooms I took yesterday and zoomed in on it and saw the egg...I didn't even see it yesterday! DUH!!!
