Flutterbys

Last summer when we raised painted lady butterflies from caterpillars, we hoped that they would lay their eggs on the yummy-to-painted-lady-caterpillars plants we planted in the butterfly garden so that we would be able to find the caterpillars there and put them back in the butterfly bungalow and raise more.  That happened at the Lone Star Baby's school when they raised monarchs and planted milkweed.  We never found any second-generation caterpillars of that sort, though, which was a little disappointing at first, but....

we have so many butterflies!  The caterpillars must be sneaky because there are just butterflies everywhere.  I love, love, love to watch them.
