Worked outside today after church planting some coneflowers and cup plants I had in pots. A few butterflies flying around. Got a picture of what appeared to be a new female Monarch on one of our butterfly plants. Also, a picture of a Gulf Fritillary (their larva feed on passionflower (maypop) which is in abundance here) on a coneflower. Both were beautiful and on the move.
I moved three more Monarch caterpillars from the flats near our house to nearby milkweed plants. This makes a total of 52 caterpillars moved over the past three weeks. It will soon be getting late for the trip down to Mexico.
