Today was quite a productive one here in Watauga TX. From what I've been seeing in the Daily Butterfly Thread it has been productive for many of us lately!! Some of you have begun raisisng butterflies along with us, and some just wanted to see more butterflies in their garden. Since I started posting in the threads it has been better and better. Before that I was hard pressed to find anyone else so 'into' the conservation of these marvelous creatures.Lerkers feel free to chime in any time too, we want to know you better too for whatever your degree of interest may be.
I am enjoying all of your pictures and stories so much!! Thank you all so much for sharing!!!

This moring 4 more Monarchs eclosed inside of the quick and easy cages, there are about 20 more on the way. Most of the Monarchs are still cats of all sizes now. One Black Swallowtail emerged from his chrysalis as well. Then to top it all off a brilliant orange Gulf Fritillary. Still over a dozen more chrysalids of GF, and at least a dozen cats. Three of the dozen or so Giant Swallowtails have just made their chrysalids.

Here are 2 of this mornings Monarchs which I finally got to let go of my hand and rest on one of the Duranta erectas, (Sweet Memory)>
