Okay, I'm watching the horrible situation in Paris on CNN, but I'm going to drop some butterfly pictures here to cheer us up and make the world a more beautiful place. Group hug

From yesterday...a Skipper.

Both of my Common Buckeyes came out today. Here's the first one. It landed on my shorts so that's my leg in the picture. It then settled in an oak tree.

Fed the Io Moths while I was out there. I've switched them to Black Cherry. They eat so much and so many of the plants they eat are deciduous.

And here's the second Buckeye that emerged.
