Yay, we're learning, there's milkweed on the banner, and my new camera is charging! I bought it as a package with all the fun accessories, some of which I'm not sure I'll ever use. But the price was cheaper than if I bought the camera alone! Unfortunately, we're supposed to have pretty good rain chances tomorrow through Saturday. But I can always test out the camera on my caterpillars! I moved the Pipevine Swallowtails into a bigger condo tonight so I think they owe me a photo shoot.

Oh, and I forgot to mention this but one of my Zebra Longwings up and pupated on me! No warning! I mean, it was on the lid last night when I cleaned the tank but it wasn't in it's J so I thought it was just looking for fresher food. And then this morning when I was checking on everyone, it was a chrysalis! Also, my big Red Admiral made his J and should be pupating soon. He's in his nest so I can only see part of him, but once the chrysalis is made and dried, I'll open up the nest and take pictures.
