And *ahem* deflowering? LOLMBO

Yeah Sherry mine never mated in their cages either, they want out more than they want to mate I guess. Or maybe they don't like being watched so much. We often walk up on them already coupled together though.

Reposting this one that I accidentally posted in previous thread:

Was out back having a look around and spotted a couple Monarch cats... Then figured there had to be more, so I kept looking and turning over leaves on the MW.. found another, then another, and as it got darker thought I better look again as they tend to come up out of the depths to feed as night approaches. In all I found 12!!! Most all in their 3rd instar, and one in 2nd. Now we're talking!

Found a total of 8 BSTs... 2 are in their eggs, ;-). 4 on fennel and 4 on parsley, so I caged separately.

I call that a good day!
