Looks a bit like my husband before he's had his morning coffee :)

Congrats!!

lol - the first time I ever saw on of these guys on my lemon tree I was literally frightened by how creepy he looked. now that I raise them I find myself talking baby talk to them and telling them how cute they are :-)

So ugly it's cute!

Someone doesn't like to get his picture taken. :) It's a great photo. Our butterfly season has ended here in Pa, but it's great to see that other can still enjoy their presence.

Aw, I think he's handsome.

Nancy, is that what he's on, a 'Wild Lime' plant or is that the name of someone who sent you a host plant! :)

Stunning photo, BTW. I was introduced to several of these little guys at Pine Ridge Gardens Native plant nursery in west central Arkansas this summer. They are so very different from other butterfly cats. Congratulations on attracting them to your garden. I've planted some host plants for them and hope I get to see one in my garden next year.

Yes, he is on a wild lime plant. I bought it through Shady Oak Butterfly Farm.

About the only upshot to Houston's sweltering summers is that we get a bit longer butterfly season. I had so many butterflies in my backyard this afternoon that I really couldn't count them. I tried to get a picture of an orange barred sulphur for you Miss Sherry, but those butterflies don't stay still long enough.
