Just a couple of pics from the museum today. It rained last night or this morning and it's about 65 degrees outside. We have a heat lamp in the flight cage to keep everyone warm when it gets too cold. There was one Zebra Longwing flying around but everyone else was just hanging out on the screen.

Here's the happy Zebra Longwing.

And here's one of two Gulf Fritillaries I released.

I got home and saw these two Monarch cats lined up in a row. There was a third one higher up on the plant. Yesterday, I only saw one so I don't know where the other two were hiding but this morning they were all munching away.
