A few of the visiting butterflies to my Windsor Locks garden, mostly on the buddleia;

Monarch (photo)

Some sort of fritillary (photos), same size as the monarch. Really pretty.

A silver spotted skipper in photo?

Cabbage whites, likes to frequently visit the cabbage. This explains the holes, though I don't see the cats.

& others.

 

Also I'm excited to be babysitting 2 black swallowtail caterpillars that hatched out of the eggs yesterday (photo, sorry it didn't come out too well). The female laid them last Wednesday, so it took 8 days for them to hatch out of the eggs. Does that sound right?

They are on dill. Thanks for those that recommended bringing in the plant sprigs as soon as the female has oviposited so as to protect the eggs.
