I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted. I've been reading the whole time. Let's see...lots of new stuff going on. I found three more Red-Spotted Purple cats in my neighbor's yard. Today I saw one flying around and later found two eggs on the cherry.

At MOSI, I netted a female Queen! I'm hoping she'll lay lots of eggs for us.

While I was picking skippers off the desmodium, I noticed a little caterpillar that wasn't a skipper. I ended up finding a few more - I think they're Gray Hairstreaks! Check out the picture below.
