I found quite a few small BST cats on my dill plants yesterday. Today I came home to find a red wasp munching on them! That just won't do!....dang wasps are trying to ruin my fun...LOL.

I also had 5 monarchs eclose this morning before work. That was very cool. I even took one that was still drying for "show and tell." I won over several more BF enthusiasts and they are wanting some milkweed for their yards. Cool how that works! I will be sharing some seeds that MaryLeek sent me when my MW was dying off. Thanks again for the care package! I have already planted the three types of seeds you send me, you are most generous as are all of the DG folks I have come in contact with.

I missed the opening of the chrysalis, but here is one of the newly emerged monarchs. This is the closest I have come to seeing one eclose....next time!
