They're so perfect! Congrats, congrats, Angie!

Thanks Sherry. I am blessed to have them. It may never happen again, so I am going to enjoy it while it's here! :o)

Bandjzmom,
Why would you think it might never happen again? You've got 4 cats who will soon become butterflies who know a great place to go for excellent care and guaranteed fresh food. They'll probably find mates and lay eggs in your yard and you'll have butterflies for the rest of your life. What a great problem to have.

Thanks Martha, and I sure hope that you are right. What I meant was that I have never raised Spicebush or Zebra cats before, and I got them both this year, and back to back to boot. What a thrill!! I figure the odds of me having both of them at the same time again isn't so great. I have had Pawpaw in my yard since 2008 and have never seen an adult Zebra or a caterpillar, even though I have been looking hard for them all along. I have seen exactly ONE adult Zebra Swallowtail in my life, and it flew through my yard back in 2008 before I planted the Pawpaw. So, it has REALLY been a BIG BIG deal for me to get to raise the Spicebushes and the Zebras back to back!! I have rasied Monarchs, Black Swallowtails, Sleepy Oranges, Cloudless Sulphurs, and Gulf Fritillaries, and now I can add those two supreme butterflies to my successful rearing list!!!! ~~Angie
