Very cool. Thanks for the pics Brian. Just yesterday I was at this Butterfly House and was talking with a woman that works there and she said to plant Milkweed and Parsley in our yard in order to attract butterflies. We may try and get some eggs and a jar with parsley/milkweed and watch the process. I think my daughter could really enjoy that. Thanks for the post, it has spawned an idea for a podcast. "What are the interesting insects near you"? That could be a fun one given the breadth of where we Hubskiers hale from.

We planted one of these : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asclepias_physocarpa They call it a "swan plant" here. Monarches love it.
