Great to see you're getting Monarchs Deborah, I love those pics!! Hopefully a SHE will lay some eggs. (Good eye Linda.)
I just collected about 18 Black Swallowtail cats.. I put a big batch in a 12" Butterfly Cage I had, and all the rest by 2's in the mini cages. The parsley sprigs kept wilting too fast, so I dug up one of the parsley plants in the bed.

Collected 3 Giant ST eggs, 2 of them were layed about 30 minutes ago. 1 oughta hatch any time now that was layed a few days ago. I really like how the Zanthoxylum lasts in the wet foam blocks, so much thriftier than the parsley. Especially when watching eggs.. :-

Mellie~ How is that Frit doing?

Pretty good for butterflies here today.. Black ST's were ovipositing > They took breaks at the Duranta, going back and forth.
