Ooh, I love Red Spotted Purples. There's also a Red Admiral; I think you're getting the two names mixed up. Sort of like when Mom told me our "Queen Monarch" had eclosed today. I'll just be happy if I can get her to correctly tell me if she saw a Zebra Longwing or a Zebra Swallowtail.

So yes, the Queen came out today. It hadn't really shown any signs of changing and then all of a sudden this morning it was dark and I could see the wings. Monarchs usually give you two days notice. My Queen is a girl so I showed her the milkweed and told her to find herself a good man.
