In contrast, the second instars are velvety black and they now have the yellow stripe right behind their head. As they grow they gain more stripes, and some will turn green and others will remain a dark brown. Of course, I'll keep everyone updated as the Zebra STs are total show-offs.

Tomorrow, Mom and I are volunteering with the Tampa Bay Estuary Program to plant native plants around a shoreline. This time it will be around salt water; I hope to see different kinds of butterflies closer to the shore. If I get any good pictures you can be sure I'll post them here!
