Okay, I'm back as promised. I've had some family "drama" going on around here that's been taking up my time. But I still got in a few pictures.
Here's a Spicebush visiting the magic red pentas. I didn't take too many pictures because it's so humid outside. Is it October yet?
I found three more mystery cats on the Desmodium. Here's a picture of the biggest one. He's in the middle of that chewed-up leaf under the flower.
And I told you I would have pictures of the Long-Tailed Skipper chrysalis. They make their chrysalises inside their leaf shelters, almost like a cocoon. It's thought that Skippers were the first branch of butterflies to break off from moths so that makes sense. I unwrapped him, though, and this is what he looks like now.
Speaking of chrysalises, my last Tiger ST chrysalis is looking pretty dark. Let's just hope it waits until morning to emerge!
