This perfect male came to visit this morning and then by this afternoon, I had three fluttering around in my garden... I'm sure all my grand-flutters!!!

I now have 13 in chrysalis and 1 in J-hook... by the morning will have transformed into a chrysalis.
Many little ones and eggs to follow.... and everyday I'm finding eggs and tiny little cats wanting to come into the house to be safe!!!
This picture was right after she emerged... and this chrysalis gave me heart failure.... I had to move it and the silk did not attach.... it fell, not far, but twice...

Wow, what a story you are giving us with your photos! I highly doubt very many soon to be butterflies have been saved by a hot glue gun and dental floss. You deserve a pat on the back. Maybe you should be called Madam Butterfly. Have a great day. Alan and I are heading out to the desert for our annual Hell Hole Weekend. We do it every year for Alan’s b-day. Lots of family, friends, wine, margaritas, a pool and nice resort. It’s hot but lots of fun. Started out as a joke but now we do it every year. Terri
