Ok, back home I took a few more pictures.

This Monarch cat mysteriously showed up a couple days ago. Where do they hide when they're little? He's the third one I've had on that plant in the last week or two. Now he's in his "J" and ready to become a chrysalis. Funny how some will wander far away and other stay right on the plant. Monarch season in Florida really never ends.

And to prove my point, here's a Monarch that was on my firebush!

And here's a Long-Tailed Skipper on porterweed. I've had a ton of these guys around lately. I think it's because my Butterfly Pea (one of their host plants) has grown and has been hosting the caterpillars. I must have had five of these guys flying around the front door area.
