I think I see the sun!

Yesterday, while deadheading the buddleia, I saw:

2 Monarchs (1 m, 1 f, both looked quite fresh)
1-2 Buckeyes
6-8 Cabbage Whites
1 dark swallowtail--I think it was a Spicebush, but it was missing most of its bottom wings, so I wasn't 100% sure!
1 Peck's Skipper
2 Silver-Spotted Skippers

and 1 caterpillar of some sort that seemed to have made a little tent near the top of the buddleia--wrapped itself in a leaf--the tent seemed to include a lot of tussocks--maybe some sort of slug caterpillar?  I could faintly see it--seemed a pale yellow with a few "bumps"--I did photograph it, in case anyone would like to check it out!
