Very nice, Ann! The one you can't remember looks like it is also a Buckeye. They look really different on the underside. Love the Zebra Swallowtail pics! The Tiger Swallowtails aren't too shabby, either!

It's been rainy all day here and it was discount day at the movies so I spent the day indoors. I'm taking a new medicine and I think I'm already having side effects. There's a big warning about staying out of the heat and becoming dehydrated on it so I'm going to be super careful until I see how it affects me. In good news, Dell shipped my computer today and FedEx estimates it will be here on Friday. So hooray!

In caterpillar news, I missed the Tersa molting because I totally conked out. I also have a male Orange-Barred Sulphur that's ready to emerge from the chrysalis. He'll probably do it in the middle of the night because that's the way things have been going around here.

My boss at MOSI was having a bad day and posted on Facebook that she was poking caterpillars for fun because "they look so darn goofy with their osmeterium out." I prefer petting them, but caterpillars are good therapy all around. Oh, and I saw "Tomorrowland" with Mom and when George Clooney was talking about all the ways the world is going wrong, he mentions butterflies and bees disappearing. And I won't spoil anything, but let's just say gardeners are appreciated in Tomorrowland, as well. It's not all engineers and chemist people.
