Not too many butterflies out and about today. It's a little cooler here, low 70s and we're supposed to get down to 44 tonight! I did see a Swallowtail fly through the yard; I think I saw the same one yesterday. I can't see any yellow on it so I'm hoping it's a Pipevine ST. I checked my pipevine, but nothing yet.

In other news, I found a mystery caterpillar rolled up in a leaf on my Mayhaw. I posted him on the cat ID thread. I brought him inside with a couple of Mayhaw leaves. I just looked and noticed one of the leaves was up against the side of the container - because the cat silked it to the side and made himself a new shelter! Isn't that cool? He thinks he's hiding; it's so cute. These cats are pretty smart, huh?
