Elph....thanks for the name info...now it makes sense to me :o) Can't go wrong with a green thumb that way!!!

Was outside again this afternoon when I spotted a Zebra ovipositing on the passiflora biflora. I was smart enough to leave my camera on the back porch table so I quickly grabbed it to take this photo. Poor darling has seen much better days - but she's still still ovipositing. Am sure this is the same butterfly I'd seen a couple of weeks ago ovipositing.

ps...there was also a Gulf Frit around the vines and I was out there shooing it away. It finally got the hint and moved to the vine in the front yard :o)

pss...also watched a Monarch and Queen ovipositing on the milkweed plants...and also found several Guava Skipper eggs on the guava tree - must've laid them there yesterday as I'd not noticed them before. The Brazilian Skipper is still ovipositing on every canna leaf it can - my poor cannas are turning to shreds - I just love those big chunky skippers...but those caterpillars - ugh ugh ugly!!! :o)
