Ok, if anyone wants to help ID the plant that my mystery cats are on you can check out the thread here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/989099/

While I was driving home I saw what looked like a Monarch near some willow trees so I thought I might have a Viceroy. I did a U turn in the middle of the road and looked but couldn't find anything. However, that got me in the mood for some caterpillar hunting so I stopped at the small preserve that I pass each day on the way home. I actually pass by two, but the one has trails and stuff.

Since I am confident in my ability to spot a cherry tree, I started looking at all of them. Lo and behold, I found two Red-Spotted Purple cats!! Then, I did my happy dance (which always involves the Cabbage Patch).
