Female Cloudless Sulphur
Comments (3)Beautiful shot Sherry, and I hope you get eggs too. I have noticed that the Cloudless here seem to favor deep tubular blooms. They are especially drawn to my Pineapple Sage. I have several varieties of Senna and Cassia here for them to choose from, and they seem to always stick to the Sicklepod Senna. Here is a shot of one from my yard diving into a Hibiscus bloom.

Comments (23)Linda, what is the botanical name for Sicklepod? There are so many sennas and I was just wondering. Also, for some reason my Verbesina enceliodes just wilted and died. There are still some flowers on the top of it. I am trying to let them mature so I can collect the seed or at least they will self-sow. But, I don't know if the plant is going to make it until then. It's like one day it was absolutely gorgeous and the next day the leaves were just drooping on the entire plant. I suspect some kind of root rot, and next year, I may just plant it in a pot as it will probably survive the winter in a pot, no? Or, I need some more sand for drainage in the soil it is in. It is growing right behind the lavendar, though, and lavendar requires very sharp drainage. However, with all the rain we've had this year, parts of the lavendar are experiencing die back, too. It is also planted adjacent to lantana 'Miss Huff' and passiflora incarnata 'Incense'. Maybe there is something in the roots of these plants that the Crownbeard dislikes? I have plenty of sennas right now, between the Xmas Cassia (unless it gets killed B4 the seeds ripen. Also, the Partridge Pea (which is dying back also), and the Wild Senna (hebecarpa). I went out this morning and couldn't find the darned chrysalis amongst the stems of Xmas Cassia. I was panicking! The 3 other CS's are eating fine. Finally, I found it on the floor of the porch, undamaged. The fall it must have taken was only a few inches, so I'm hoping it was not damaged. Oh, no!

Comments (9)I absolutely love coming to this forum just to oogle the photos! You folks have such spectacular images of these beauties! I -am- jealous! Here is the 1 and only butterfly I managed to snap a photo of on my recent trip to SoCal the end of Sept. this year. S/He was a bit ratty with one hindwing tail portion missing, I'm not certain what it was, a swallowtail? It was nectaring on a bouganvilla, Flitting here and there. So it was a bit difficult to capture an image... Thanks for looking! ~Tina...See MoreCloudless Sulphur Caterpillars Questions
Comments (3)I don't know how far along your caterpillars are, but, unless you know they're about to pupate, I'd put the branches in a container with water in it and holes punched in the top for a place to put the branches. Or, water picks/florist's tubes can keep host plant material fresh. Sherry...See Moresultry_jasmine_nights (Florida-9a-ish)
