Thanks everyone! There were a bunch of Polydamas flying around but they never stop so you can take a picture. Even when they nectar they're only at one flower for a second before they move on. But I'm raising a bunch of Polydamas caterpillars so I'll have pictures for sure in a couple of weeks. I also have some Pipevine ST eggs, but I've never had much luck raising them. I guess we'll see. I also have some just-hatched Eastern Black STs. I'm going to take them to the museum next week because I don't have enough food to raise them to adulthood.
