And no pressure to anyone who doesn't want to raise caterpillars. Just planting for them is enough and let nature's cycle work itself out in your garden. I find it lots of fun, but there are times I don't want to get out of bed to go fetch them food in 90 degree weather.
David, you have many years to look forward to! And we can spend all winter planning and looking at the beautiful butterflies that I post! Oh yeah, and the other Southerners.
I hope our international friends join in, too!

Jack, I hear your Pearl Crescent singing "I Will Survive"!
