I went snooping around the bush bed and looking really closely at the Cassia bushes out there. Well ..... much to my delight I found 3 Sulphur cats that look to be pretty healthy. So in they came to be raised in a cage. Yay!

And I found about a dozen or more eggs (new ones since yesterday) that are on the tips of many leaves. It's kind of neat, but the butterfly lays each egg on a different branch. I guess so there is no crowding.

From past experience, they aren't quite the piggies that the Black Swallowtail and Monarch cats are. :-)

And notice ..... these are green (because they are eating the leaves) instead of yellow.

Fun, fun!
