Awwwww. Precious litrle sphinx! You know me and the Sphinx, right? It looks like you may have a male, abdomen tipped upwards. Females hang straight down. Darn! I was going to suggest a paper bag for egg laying. Wild Cherry is the larval host. Great find! Susan Here is a link that might be useful: Paonias myops, Small Eyed Sphinx

I've searched for these Lloyd Flanders wicker lounge chairs , too. Apparently they've been discontinued. :( I saw them listed on OneKingsLane once for $1200 a set! (They didn't have arm rests though.) (To see that they've been discontinued, go to the website I've linked.) Here is a link that might be useful: Lloyd Wicker Furniture

Hello mazelady! Leenamark is right, you should be fine as long as you make sure you put on two or thee coats. Another thing you can do to prolong its life is to keep an eye on the weather and if it is suppose to storm really hard just bring them in real quick. You would be amazed how much just doing this for those big summer storms will prolong the life of any patio furniture! Another option is to go out and buy a cover for them, those also work wonders! Hope this helps!

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions! Lyban, love the idea of using the black napkins with the points coming down! Fun2BeHere: Good idea for the centerpieces. Just love those little suggestions to stick the centerpieces down with tape! kswl: We are like you as far as serving alcohol at family parties. Touch wood, we've never had a problem with under age drinking (too excess or combining with driving) and also allow our own children a glass on special occasions, though understand desertdance's concern as there are many teen parties where parents are oblivious with sometimes tragic consequences. I appreciate her concern. Annkh, we're in CA so the weather is pretty good. That said there was light rain at DS's party which was larger than this one as he was co-celebrating with DH's 50th. We had to put up an easy-up over the buffet tables, some ate inside, but then it cleared. DH had some problems with the patio heaters so he knows he'd better work it out this year! We can all fit inside between family room, formal living/dining and garage with ping-pong table though will be tight squeeze. Love the suggestion of a rootbeer keg too! This time I'm going to make sure to take before pictures!
