Well...I guess little boy wanted to get going. The winds are so gusty. I took him carefully outside & placed him on the newly emerging rubeckia leaves. He thought about it shortly but then took off fluttering like mad in the wind. He landed in my Redbud tree to happily nectar.

I took these chrysalis out of the refrigerator when I left for Montana. Arrived home super late last night. Heard some hurried fluttering & thought it was just the wind outside. Turns out to be a swallowtail trying to get outside. I obliged and off it went into the wind. The other is pumping up its wings. Exciting day.

Update: There were 3 empty chrysalis' so what happened to the other? A Papa close encounter with his jeans pant leg yesterday. It took him by surprise as he also didn't think any would enclose this quick. He gently released it outside as he has watched me do over the years.

So far the count is 2 females & 1 male.

I could not sleep ( dang allergies) so I went outside in the yard looking for the eclipse. It was 5:35am. I just missed the full red eclipse but I'm just as happy with this view. What a beautiful way to wake up watching the moon glow.

Had a surprise visitor yesterday afternoon. Totally exhausted. Lucky she picked the right spot. The first rays of sunlight hit my salvia early. This will warm her so she can nectar and be on her way. Fly strong & proud little one.

A beautiful visitor this warm sunny day. She stayed for a long time nectaring. As she flew off she circled led my head a few times saying thank you. Be on your way little one.

Witnessing the Monarch migration. Cuba, Missouri is a major lane on the migration highway. Hundreds fly by going the same direction. My family just smile every time I yell, BUTTERFLY ever few minutes.

Oh my gosh. It's been 3 years since I've seen these caterpillars. Tiger Tussock moths. There is only one hanging by a thread. Usually there is an army, shoulder to shoulder along a milkweed leaf edge. I hope it makes it.

Right before my eyes as I was watering. Rescued a monarch wanderer with nowhere to go. Placed it on some fresh milkweed regrowth. It's going to be a cool night (53 degrees)hopefully it stays put.
