Melanie - Sounds like your area has some great places to visit nature! Yes, I heard about the weather going into the 50's (possibly) and was soooo excited! Yay! Finally a little cooler weather! Now if all this rain would stop! (sheesh)

I don't have any butterfly photos to share, but my Candlebush is in full bloom and I have seen Orange-barred Sulphur Butterflies laying eggs all over it. Somehow some of the cats have made it (despite the notorious wasps hunting them down by the dozens!). I actually saw a wasp carrying off a cat after it stung it. I tried to knock it to the ground but the wasps had a mission and managed to fly away. Freaks me out everytime I see a cat in the clutches of a wasp!

I have been finding cats almost every day and most of them look like they are in their final instar. :-)

Here's a photo of yellow and green cats. And some pretty blooms!
