I just ran the Entomology category on "Jeopardy!" Pretty easy clues, if you ask me.

Christine, I do think you have a Goatweed Leafwing. Seeing that picture of the top helps as it looks just like yours.

My sleep schedule is all over the place, but the date and time stamp on the camera says I took these this morning. I do have a vague recollection of feeding the caterpillars. Hilarious!

I missed an egg on the pipevine because look who I found! He's part of the group now, which you can see in the second picture.

A male Tiger ST was all over Dad's Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow plant. I hope this butterfly already mated because he is pretty torn up. No female is going to want him looking like that! Even his body looks kind of messed up. Must have escaped some close calls!

And this little Skipper was hanging out in the circle.
