Ah, love those Monarchs, Lin! I sure do hope for some better population numbers on the Monarchs next year. It's depressing how few there are left...and I'm afraid the Queens (which also use milkweed) are declining in a similar fashion.
I have good news! Not sure if anyone is familiar with the Snowberry Clearwing Moth, but I'm pretty sure I've got its caterpillars on my Coral Honeysuckle! I've always wanted to see those! It makes it so much more interesting to have enough good host plants in your yard!

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
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
