I used to see them when I worked at a garden center years ago. |

Beautiful buckeye photos, amelanchier!
Amelanchier's buckeyes are also hanging out on the grass, just like mine have been. what is it with them? It isn't their larval plant, and there is no significant amount of nectar. I guess it shall remain a mystery, bless their hearts. ![]()

I feel your joy butterflylinda! I had 4 monarch cats a week ago on a swamp milkweed. Today only one remains. "Circle of Life" as Jason calls it as he hums the tune to Lion King to which I roll my eyes and wish that the tussock moths hadn't almost completely stripped the plant of leaves a couple of weeks ago. Now this poor guy has only 3 or 4 leaves left with still a week or so to go as a caterpillar. There was this black and red beetle that I found chomping on one of the cats. By the time I saw him he already ate 2 and one half. (Yeech!) I just want to get this one last cat to survive.
I try not to get too attached but, well, you know. I do the same thing with "my" bluebirds. You can do it! Go cat go! |

I hope your Monarch cat is ready to pupate...I hate it when I run out of food for cats!

![]() I found my first monarch caterpillars this year and understand the thrill. Mine were further along than yours--and you even spotted some as eggs! Maybe I'll do better next year. Thanks for sharing. |
