Well, I just learned what crepuscular means! I've only ever seen one Comma (I think it was a Comma) and it was in the middle of the day in WV. I've never heard of them being crepuscular. Just for fun, I'm going to use that word in a sentence and watch my dad get confused.

I was just packing my new critter keepers for the trip and noticed they are BPA-free. I don't think the caterpillars would care, but some people use those things to hold their fish while they are changing or cleaning tanks so I could see how chemicals leaching into your water would be a problem. And I thought for those environmentally conscious people on here, you may want to know that Petco has BPA-free critter keepers.

I also forgot to mention the Polydamas was flying around again but I had no chance of catching up with it today. I tell people that even when I release butterflies, they stay around my yard because I have all the plants they want - host and nectar. Although, they do occasionally visit the neighbors.
