LeBug.... Sounds like you are getting all set. Did you bring the Monarch in yet? If it is already in the "J" position, wait until the chrysalis is hardened. You can clip part of the vine and tape or pin it inside a cage. It will emerge in 10 days!

Datura..... If you are in SW Fort Worth, they were all at my house this year!! I think I released at least 45 BSTs so far! My last cat just found a place to make it's chrysalis today. Doesn't appear to be anymore eggs. Great I haven't seen any TST at my house, and only two ZSTs last year; and only one GST this year. I am increasing my host plants trying to lure those three. Sure hope you make the Arlington RU in October, would love to meet you.

Here is my first Monarch of the season spotted today.
