Yeah...the skeeters are bad!!! With all the flooding we had and all the water that is still standing - the skeeters are vicious! I went outside a few minutes ago to bring in a last instar Guava Skipper caterpillar and those biting fiends were all over me!!! Scratchy! Scratchy! Itchy! Itchy!!!!

Found some new Guava Skipper eggs on the guava bush - and remembered there were caterpillars from the last brood still on there feeding - it's hard to keep the guava leaves fresh and soft - so I usually leave the cats on the bush until they start to pupate...then I bring them in :o)

Here's one of the big babies!!!
