Got my first b'fly hatchling of the year--a Gulf Fritillary. I'm keeping it inside overnight as it is too cool outside now for it to fly and find shelter for the night. I put a potted penta in there for it to nectar on tonight. We'll set it free tomorrow. I've got a black swallowtail that should hatch in the next day or two also. That will be #2.
First hatchling of 2004
Hey, that's neat,
The swallowtail hatched yesterday. I came home after work and it was flying around inside the little hatchery. It was ready to go. I watched it fly up over the house. I saved that one from Home Depot. It was feeding on one of the dill plants, so I figure I got a 2-for-1 deal :)
