I had brought in 2 little American Lady caterpillars a while ago. Sadly, neither one survived. The first one was definitely parasitized, died while still small. The other made it until it tried to pupate yesterday before it died. There are still a smaller number of butterflies out there. The Gulf Fritillary caterpillars I rescued and took in before the freezes are back outside now. The lowest temp it got to here was 25.9 degrees.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
