Resist the impulse

After several years of failed attempts, I have not had a pipevine 
flourishing in my yard for six years.  Each year I wait patiently for a 
Pipevine Swallowtail to find it, but nary a glimmer (whatever that 
means).  I have had something else eating leaves occasionally.  I have 
resisted the temptation to import some Pipevine larvae from the one 
stable colony in northern NJ.  It will be ever so much more satisfying 
to have a colony initiated naturally.
