I love all y'all's pictures!
I don't know if the white paper towel really had anything to do with those white chrysalids, Sheila - maybe it was a coincidence, maybe not.
Mrs. Ed, that's a really great picture! One of my dog's favorite toys is a life like squirrel. He carries it around in his mouth a lot, and I left it outside recently - of course, the "squirrel" was nasty with plenty of dog slobber all over it. Normally, I can't get spring/summer azures or eastern tailed blues to be still long enough to get their picture, but one spring azure "nectared" on the slobbery toy for so long, I was able to get its picture, finally!
I'm so jealous of your pipevine swallowtails, Cat! This is the first year I've been without them. A male nectared on butterfly bush in my garden briefly about a week or so ago, but no female has laid any eggs on my vines, and you should see them - they're huge!
I keep finding more giant swallowtail cats on my rue, Sheila. The ones in my cages are growing like weeds, I mean they were tiny hatchlings just a few days ago, and now they're already half way grown!
