Cat Update

Hard to believe that we're three days in and already a few of them have moved into their fourth instar and have quadrupled in size. Nearly all of them have spun some sort of web in their cups and I even took note of a couple hanging upside-down in a 'J' position which is a precursor to developing a chrysalis . . .

Outside, we identified our second butterfly of the season (the first was the red admiral, Vanessa atalanta) and tonight we found a spring azure, Celastrina ladon, flitting around the backyard. The butterfly weed is beginning to bloom and we found a young American bullfrog around the pond. Good stuff!
