I was pretty tired so I didn't spend too much time at the museum today, but I did want to share this picture of a Pipevine Swallowtail basking in the sun. Their blue, shimmery scales are so beautiful.

I also brought in to my house about a dozen Monarchs from my garden. They're probably second instars judging from the size. I usually wait until they get a little bigger but there was a spider and another unknown bug on the milkweed so I figured I better bring them in and keep them safe.
