Nice shot Bill, here’s the math:
(colors * light) + composition = eye candy!
Yes, that last one is a factorial.
(colors * light) + composition = eye candy!
Yes, that last one is a factorial.

It wasn't long ago I watched Mom laying eggs.
I have had them go from hatching to adult in about four weeks.
The only 'secret' is never let the caterpillars run out of food.

Thanks Bill. You make a good point. Last year the caterpillars devoured all the milkweed.

In your yard, if need be, supliment a shortage of food plant. Collect the upper two thirds of common milkweed and put one stem to a bottle of water. Stake verticle amongst the exhausted plant's stems. The caterpillars know what to do from there.
I have used beer bottles, since there always seem to be a few around the house, yard, garage, etc.
This will work amongst garden plants as well.
Attracts pollenaters.
