I had seen a ragged Texas Crescent butterfly around here lately. Probably a female...because there's little caterpillars on a bunch of False Mints (Dicliptera brachiata) on my place...LOTS of caterpillars! I don't even want to know how many are here! I brought some in to raise, but I'm not looking for any more. That's one of those species that can sometimes lay quite a few eggs, on the assumption that few of them will survive.
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
