I'm back! I started a thread for all my pictures so I don't hijack this thread. Check me out here: The thread "Melanie's KY and WV butterfly adventure" in Gardening for Butterflies, Birds and Bees forum

Also, I had a welcome home caterpillar! This is an Orange-Barred Sulphur.

My Sennas are just starting to bloom. The Sulphurs lay eggs on the buds as you can see. Cloudless Sulphur cats are normally green but turn yellow when they eat the flowers. They blend in really well!



And the Polydamas have been hard at work while I was gone. Sigh.

I keep finding these things. Are they bagworms? Anyone know anything about them?
